These music/art AI threads are always gross. Make things for the joy of creating. Prompting some AI model doesn’t make you a musician - it actively robs you of the thing that’s rewarding about actually creating something.

Have you considered that some people produce music solely for aesthetic purposes?

The main genre of music I listen to is electronic.

Many electronic songs are written to evoke a specific feeling, without meaningful lyrics.

When I produce electronic music, I have no particular lyrics or composition in mind.

I just fiddle around with different sound layers going for a particular "vibe" and mash things together until they sound good to me.

I see AI as another tool to expedite this process.

Sure. If your music means nothing to you, than by all means, make it with methods that remove all agency from the process.

I’ve written instrumental/electronic music, too. When I do, it means something to me. The last thing I want is for an AI to make it for me.

Some get joy from creating generative tools/models!
