For the consumer stuff: It's fun, and IMO that's enough. Not every song has to be peak artistic quality pushing the world forward, sometimes it's enough to bring a smile to a friend's face by making a song about them. If you think their art is slop you shouldn't have to listen to it (IMO Spotify et al should have an optional "no AI music" filter for now).

For the API: I think this could be integrated into artists workflows in lots of ways we can't even imagine right now as it gets better. One example I gave above was generating transitions between songs.

the reason a song from a friend makes you happy is directly related to the effort behind it, this is totally meaningless.

You know that post card they sent you is not actually a photoshop-free picture taken by them. They just addressed it to, you should totally dump them from your life.

obtaining, addressing, and writing a message in a post card is the effort, not the picture.

The reason anything makes anyone happy is completely subjective, as evidenced by the many people who have told us our app made them and/or their friends and family happy.

that's just your opinion.
