I assume, then, that you don't approve of people doing cover versions? I mean, if they didn't write the song, what right do they have to perform it? And what is the 20, 30, 40 or more hours you spend crafting and refining your prompts with the AI worth, then? Nothing? I'd suggest it's a skill few people possess. Much like musicianship, once you master the art, it allows a person to craft exactly the idea they had in their head.I see AI music as the ethical equivalent of making music with pirated loop libraries and calling it your own, except it takes even less effort. Acknowledging where you got the sounds from doesn't make it any better, nor does it somehow give you the ability to claim the results as your actual artistic output. It's also just really boring honestly.
What makes you think AI generated music will be "low quality"? I think it's the opposite, it will be very high quality, at least on the same level as most professional producers are capable of creating. The suggestion is that it won't connect with people in the way a song written by a human can but my experience has been quite the opposite - the music my bandmate has been crafting with AI is the best music I've ever heard in my life. Not all of it, not even most of it, but if you're discerning, patient and persistent, there is a lot of good music to be had out of AI.As listeners, what should we do when faced with a massive amount of AI-generated music?Will our listening experience be ruined by a large amount of low-quality music?
