A couple of things:
First: did you notice they spelled "midia" instead of "media" in the link? (cancel that I just saw the where the article got it's info)

Second: My only problem with AI is philosophical. It's like seeing a beautiful house made of stone and knowing that the stone is resin and it covers chicken wire and Styrofoam. If you don't know about the resin it looks like a solid structure that took skilled craftsman a long time to build and you would pay handsomely for it. If you do know about the resin and chicken wire you would want to pay considerably less.

Third: in the last few years I have had several friends pass away. They were all fantastic songwriters. I am keeping some of their music alive by playing covers. The thing is that many of the songs were never recorded by the writers, or submitted for copyright. I also know several "professional" songwriters who write to get published and have succeeded. I can tell the difference in the writing. AI does not have a heart and soul. When you use your mind to write but not your heart, it may sound good, but it may sound hollow. Unless AI also has a AH it will always be just a tool for people with actual minds and hearts to use. The streaming folks are betting that most people are in line with "I don't know much about art, but I know what I like" or "That was good, give me more of the same" .

Lastly: If AI can (or will be able to) mash up anything that has ever been into a Frankenstein type of music or movie at the whim of users, that is not creativity. It's regurgitation. The steak might taste as good the second time around, but the third or fourth will have you out looking for a fresh piece of meat to chew. That is unless you lose your teeth or prefer steak from a blender.
