You are talking a lot about something you really have no clue about. I am taking 100% original content (that I created in the 90s) and simply using A.I. to give me better vocal quality (just like EVERY major artist does in the studio) and to improve the sonic quality of the stuff I played way back then. This is FAR different than just putting lyrics in and letting it randomly create a music track. It uses my piano, bass, guitar, vocal quirks, melody lines, backing vocals, and drums and at most adds some flourishes here and there, just like they do with session players in studios. If you hear super original stuff from major artists, most of the time that is just A list session players putting their best licks on some high paying label artists album. That is not any more creative (it's less actually) that I am doing because it is my parts that are being boosted sonically. Now and then the A.I. will do something interesting that enhances what I (or my band mates) did already. Right now I am putting my tracks in and having some A Capella versions done around my production counter melodies etc. and that is super cool. But it is just the A.I. putting a vocal in place of a string line or synth riff or guitar lick. But it is super fun. It is the same way these super A Cappella groups work. They write vocal lines to mimic famous songs. This is much the same approach. But all those interesting A Cappella backing parts are just using my original orchestrations.

So you should actually USE the stuff well enough to see what it can actually do before commenting because you're just assuming a lot and you're mostly wrong. I am spending the same amount of time tweaking A.I. to get it right as I did when I wrote these songs are recorded those old versions in the 90s. But since my hands barely work anymore, it is actually easier than trying to play into the DAW. Though I did recently come up with a musical ideal then finished it in A.I, afterwards. It is just another tool.
