Even just chatGPT in its current form is more than that. It is a full-fledged virtual assistant - but an esoteric one. Using it as better search is one use case, but how about to write a novel? It isn't mature enough to write _good_ prose sufficient for the the whole length of a publication. But it is good enough to generate ideas for the plot, edit, identify continuity errors, flush out backstories, generate maps, new ideas, write starter content that you modify. It could seriously change how productive one is. Similarly for writing code, or putting together home remodel plans or whatever. Learning how to have an AI "assistant" is a new thing because the intuitions about what it will be good and or bad at, especially for folks less familiar with the underlying way LLMs are built is not something that you get automatically.

Your friend does sound a bit niave about the complexity of such a service. But even right now, you can ask ChatGPT to generate coord progression, or representative example pieces of music that match the prompts you gave that would could use with some downstream system without a full "music model" along the lines you described.

Plenty of us are finding dozens of new applications every day. But they don't all work 100% out of the box. Most don't. So understanding the limitations and what kind of integrations are needed is really key to leveraging the value.
