But again, this hardly make sense for anyone else who wants to do more with these tools. You're basically saying I see no place for a car because my dad lives next door...as if that's the only reason why one could or would use a car, and that's not even an artistic or creative topic.
The argument was, "All those things you listed were made by people and then flipped by people." The other thing was just an aside.
Anyway, personally I see no place for AI in the arts—other fields yes—but in it's current form it's just theft. It's doesn't even deserve the moniker AI. It's just repackaged scraped data from millions of hours of human creativity.
Art is a creative field. People have used all kinds of tools in creative way. Maybe all you can do is record very loop-based electronica type of music. Maybe you're an excellent performer who needs nothing new to experiment with. Maybe you can't really play any instrument and this topic is totally irrelevant to you. Anything goes, but you can't really use your personal goals or limitations as an excuse.
What you have offered so far is a poor argument considering all the use cases and the good things that one could potentially benefit from. I've barely spent any time with AI, and I've already found amazing ways to get better at my craft as a performer and composer. I'm sure over time there will be many others who will take advantage of it in a positive way.
That's not to say, many others won't just put in some prompts and claim ownership of a song. But that's always been the case. People have used arranger keyboards or other preset based solutions to create a "song". That concept is probably older than both of us combined. A ton of garbage gets uploaded to the internet every day. That has nothing to do with AI.
I've seen the same thing on Piano forums. When piano sample libraries started popping up, there would be these super long threads from people trash-talking the new tool. There would be page after page of heated arguments. Many times I clicked on their website to kind of check their musical output...only to find out they weren't even musicians. Just someone who owned a piano. I always wondered where all that rage and anger was coming from! Some of them are still on the Piano World forum. If you look at their current posts (20 years later), they're very busy in the sample library section posting feedback or even some performance demos of various sample libraries.
Time changes everything!
