Sorry, the business side of art has already done this to artists.
I recall a famous songwriter, unfortunately I cannot remember their name to prove this, who used free association word games to write songs. Because nonsense lyrics have helped propel otherwise mediocre songs to commercial success.
He would write songs just by putting down words, free associating those words, until he had something that sounded interesting or cool. That is not how writing has worked, historically. It's pure nonsense.
Then to go further all of the groups of songwriters who write silly pop tunes and lyrics by using mathematical systems and trying to ride vibes and trends they see others doing.
This idea of AI somehow destroying the purity of art would have made sense maybe in the 1950s, but not today. This guy is playing some kind of game because he does not like AI, it's as simple as that.

God has given an immortal soul to every man and woman, but not to any other animal or to machines. Hence no animal or machine can think." regarding your comment: If you haven't watched The Beatles: Get Back[1], I highly recommend it, if only to watch the Fab Four brainstorm lyrics.
