If I upload a full song, then it simply recreates the melody, lyrics and tempo with better sounding result, that is EXACTLY what happens with every song ever recorded from a demo. If I had money, I would hire the best producer and session played (nearly all the hits of the past were done by collections of players in a handful of cities, cranking out tracks over and over. A.I. simply listens to the recordings, and uses the same principles. Most session players saved the good riffs for the big money and did generic riffs for the poor artists. A.I. gives you the entire breadth. I have gotten it to produce results that sound like a literal garage band banging around with on mic, a poor mix but lots of energy and fun, just like some of the old tapes I have. It has been trained on such a breadth of music from so many sources, if you are clever in your prompts, your arrangement and the starting music you upload, it becomes a collaboration on production much like ANY studio experience, while preserving YOUR melody and lyric.

Can it do EVERYTHING? Yes. But entry level people aren't harming anyone learning that way. The real teacher is LISTENING to choices. Kids no longer go to record stores and listen with friends. Guess what? That is coming back, just in different form. Kids are making songs to amuse themselves and their friends, rather than finding songs. They are widely sharing them just like we used to do with albums. Music on demand will be the norm sooner than you think. Movies on demand will follow. Pick the actors, pick the plot, pick the genre, push go, sit back, be entertained, move on to the next. People will share their favorite creations. Real films, done the old fashioned way, will still exist and many will choose them if they are good. But I guarantee most fan bases of comic books could make far better films than the ones Hollywood cranks out when those tools are available, and they will be.

Now, instead of being part of the "crew" on a film, you can be writer, director, producer, actor, and bring in your friends to play next to old stars who have licensed their work. And eventually, even if it takes public domain, ALL the previous works will be inside the creative options.

Grumble all you want, it is coming and your dislike for it will be washed away with results. We are in less than babysteps now. If you live 20 years, it will all be true.
