Well I agree the term "music composition" is not marketable, I disagree on all other points. Actually I think the only thing pulling for AI is the idea that people would prefer to listen to something generated by a computer. People no longer view human sources as trustworthy, they no longer experience natural things as authentic. They want computer-certified facts, machine-performed actions. You don't even need an AI to make the kind of music people like. You just need to dumb down the music--which is what has happened gradually since the gilded age. Now the charts are topped with monotone "robot" melodies and little to no chord structure, synths using standard basic wave forms, all rhythms quantized to a grid and all voices auto-tuned. You don't need an AI to generate this type of music by machine; ping pong balls in a tumbler would suffice. The role of AI, then, is not that you need it to make the music, but you need an AI to claim authenticity. In the minds of today's people, the computer-made music must be better, must be smarter, than human-made music.
