Someone at the factory wrote and programmed that song, so he probably would consider it art.
> If someone incorporates a factory preset into a song - sure, nothing's wrong with that. That's when a machine is used as a tool, not as a substitute for human creativity.
It's all just different levels of the devil's company. What if I use an AI chord generator and decide which chords to use in my song based on what the AI generates? What if I have the AI generate 10,000 songs in totality and I choose the best one? What if I don't use AI but compose a song by mathematically computing all the optimal elements of a pop song based on every song that's come before it? What if I hire the world's best violinist and record 4 minutes and 28 seconds of the violinist not playing, could that not be art?

That's clearly not the argument I was making. > What if I use an AI chord generator and decide which chords to use in my song based on what the AI generates? "Write me a pop song" == not you. "Create a chord progression in the key of E major" plus you yourself write the actual song and lyrics == you.
