Music is not constrained to... publishing musicians, and "real music" is not defined by them. The fact that novelists are not depending on LLMs to write their next book does not mean that they are not (or will not be) impactful. From a product point of view, you have an audience of billions of non-musicians to begin with. You surely can't pretend to have the final say on people's relationship with how they like to enjoy their music or other sound content.

Besides, even a novelty can evolve to something not imaginable today. The fact that we can go that far with text only at this early stage is a sign of things to come. When creating something, there is a place for expressing your intent with language. Maybe not all of it all the time, but we'll see how things will evolve.
