It is kind of crazy that "BBL Drizzy" of all things set a precedent. Using AI to create an incomplete song and then a real producer using it as a royalty-free sample to create an actual hit song.

I could see this paradigm becoming insanely popular with indie artists to make high quality / low skill backing tracks for their vocals.

If you want to see how AI music is going to play out, just look at how AI images have played out already. AI tools are used pretty ubiquitously now by digital illustrators, who use it to flesh out or quickly build up a prototype from hand drawn outlines, then add finishing flourishes to make it look "human."
The difference between music and image though is that very few people work professionally with audio. Just consider how many Photoshop/Figma licenses your average company has, and how many Logic/Ableton licenses they own.
