If the reason you were making music wasn't that you enjoyed making music, perhaps stopping is the right choice for you. If that was the reason, then AI is irrelevant.

I do enjoy making music, and I don't do it "by hand". I use lots of tools (instruments, electronics, a computer for recording and mixing, the internet for distribution). As long as I'm the one directing the tools, it's still art and it's still my music.

While I'm not against AI music, do not you think there's a difference between laying down some beats in ableton with your own bass + guitar writing+playing, vs prompting an LLM?

Are you prompting the LLM in an interesting way?

Brian Eno set up a bunch of tape loops of different lengths with a few notes each and let them run until something interesting happened.

Washed Out slowed down some Italo disco and sang over it (Feel It All Around aka theme to Portlandia). Does that count? [0]

Artists gonna art.

Yes, because you have your own style. You do things your own unique way. That's what makes your music your music.
