That has been going on for decades by everyone

Exactly... You don't need a computer to analyze structure/arrangement.

So, if not for sound quality and simulated recording technique, are the "labels" just suing because they can?

AI is just a man made inferior substitution for creativity, it can't think outside of its human programming.
But, if the labels win, they essentially monopolize music creation in general. You'll have to acquire a license and permit to buy a guitar... Anyone who records his/her self without permission will be guilty of plagiarism.

If anything can prove that there really isn't any new music to be created, it's AI.

That's about right....

Creators of music have a responsibility to their craft. When they have finished using all the notes and words, they must pass them down to the next generation with a simple request. “Use these to create new music.”...Steven McDonald
