I know AI has it's sights on artists as it seems like the low hanging fruit (anything can be art!).

But for music especially there is a very deliberate process a human uses. Musicians looking to create something original are not pumping it out over the course of a day/week/month. It is something they have thought about for years. A lyric waiting for the perfect melody, a melody waiting for the perfect baseline, etc. OK, maybe there is a moment of inspiration where it all comes together quickly, but that doesn't happen in isolation.

I am sceptical an AI with no goal or understanding beyond it's trained weights and prompt can create something original (and good) in it's entirety.

This is in contrast to technical tasks like coding, where regurgitating best practices to solve an iteration on an already solved problem is a valid approach, for everything except bleeding edge. No originality needed in that case.
