It's not "useless". The usefulness of the autocomplete options is not on whether or not you click them, it's about education. Most laypeople have no idea what LLMs can do... this feature delicately and non-intrusively shows you what is possible with the product. This is a huge issue with people using novel interfaces -- the "blank page" problem -- users simply don't know what to do with the empty box. Which is why with AI tools, the most common inputs are generic search terms especially with first time users. But if I start typing "Led Zepp" into the box, and I see an autocomplete for... "Led Zeppelin if it was techno" or "Led Zeppelin style music with djembe beats" now I have a clue as to what kinds of things I can put here, even if I don't care about those specific things.

  ChatGPT is available for free - you can find out for yourself! It won't generate music for you (yet). Depending on your phrasing and how outlandish the request is, it might give you suggestions of actual bands to go check out or it may just describe the characteristics of what that would sound like. When I asked "Led Zeppelin style music with djembe beats", it gave me a high level description of the guitar/drums/vocal sound + some Led Zeppelin songs that may adapt well to the fusion.

    They experimented with music back in 2020 [0]. I suppose they didn't continue because the risk (work, training, possibly getting sued) is greater than the reward (splitting the market with Suno). [0] https://openai.com/index/jukebox/ https://openai.com/index/jukebox/
