This is about generating something to consume though, not make? Making music is about so much more than the end product. It's the path not the destination etc. You learn so much about life when you have an artistic practice in general (not just music). I'm perfectly fine embracing AI tools, but clicking some buttons to generate a song isn't making music.

Ostensibly, many folks here philosophically believe either that amalgamating other people's art is tantamount to making art, or that the artistic process is irrelevant. I think many of the former are inexperienced artists that see generative AI as simple art tools. From that vantage point, it's tough to understand how many specific, artistically consequential decisions other people made to create the end product, and have a hard time understanding why people who make those decisions are rankled by people copping them. The latter seem to think tech + art = neat regardless of the context, economics, etc. Either way, I think I've seen exactly zero people budge on either stance. My gut says folks with those perspectives are probably over-represented in SV-focused spaces.

Agree. Or, put another way, "How is this fun?"
