John,

If you are using any technology to make your music, it is no different than using advanced technology to do the same. As you stated, the "passion" is in your mind, and the music you make there is where the talent and imagination is. Thinking it and then tools producing what you envisioned is the same as today.

Sure, having something randomly put a song together is a toy. But most instruments as toys until a talent uses them to make something amazing. I doubt something amazing will come from a random generator, but guess what? It was amazing creativity that built that technology in the first place. That is where the genius occurred. That is more about passionate programmers than musicians. No different than Pixar programmers who create the tools to do the acting. It's amazing talent even though visual acting is much different. Sometimes via mimicry, often using facial recognition to turn a human into a turtle. They are new tools and in the right hands, will turn out amazing passionate projects. Meanwhile, no one stops you from doing it your way. In a free society, that is always possible just as some people still create covered wagons in their workshops as there is still a need and desire and appreciation for that skill and passion to do it.
