I feel like we're only months/years away from software and file formats being obsolete for this for this sort of thing, and instead songs are composed by humming a tune to ChatGPT and have it add all the other instruments, some nice vocals, and output the MP3. If you want to make changes, you give ChatGPT the MP3 file and say "switch out the trumpet for a piano and make the singer a guy".

As someone who makes music as a hobby that's about as enticing as outsourcing sex. I don't care if the machine can do it better.

  That's an interesting point. I don't get much value from art personally (not that i don't see why people value it, i do!), so the idea of AI generated art isn't disgusting to me. Music however.. i adore music. A big (but not essential) thing i love about music is the story that got the artist to that point. Pain, joy, emotion is transferred. Yea, often it's not essential so maybe AI Music has a place in my life, but easily 60% of my music is loved partly, if not heavily, because of the emotions that got the artist to that point. I too am not interested in outsourcing this.

    ... music is art, no?

      In English speaking world "art" can be used in two ways, as a synonym for "visual art" or to mean really any art (including music, cinema etc).

This is a hilarious take and juxtaposition with MP3 (lame encoders anyone?) and some far fetched gtp application. It would be a musak equivalent of the bored ape nft’s. Like midi note transcription or waveform modeling will be cool machine learning tools. An end to end composition and mastering bot may make something passable like other current derivative music out there, being generous by saying passable. Show me the leaps and bounds in self-driving cars that were only 3-5 years away 8 years ago. There is still need for better daw, music transcription, and audio file formats in the next century. Lol humans want to make art in their free time not play around with pretend chatbot personalities. P.s. people still record to TAPE and it sounds awesome even though there are albleton plugins

We might soon have good auto-generated music, but that won't mean that everyone else who was making music the regular way is going to stop.
