Many artists - musicians, writers, painters, etc.- abhor anything AI. Just a generation ago, 2D artists decried the use of anything digital used to create images. Before that it was anything computerized that made correcting errors easier. Before that it was the typewriter. Where does the fear end?

Shouldn't the question be, "What is the end result to be?" rather than "Will it replace me or let someone with less talent/skill be as good as I am at what I do?"

Is the goal to present music the audience enjoys/wants or is it to preserve "the old way" of doing it?

Use it or not, AI in art is here, probably to stay. If the argument to get rid of it is that it saps human creativity, then BiaB and other aps, digital instruments, and any other technology beyond the stick and stone should be similarly relegated.

Everyone has talent. Talent is useless unless developed into skill.
