My experience has been that current AI-generated music/vocal software is neither fast nor easy.

It takes nine hours to render one minute of audio with JukeBox. OpenAI is working to address the issue. Also, the lyrics to the Alan Jackson song in question were not generated by JukeBox.

There are millions of dollars being used to advance these technologies. The advancement has been pretty rapid. How long until the technology is stable and valuable is not predictable.

The displacement of live musicians due to technology, cultural changes, and economics is ongoing, and AI is just another component of the reduction.

We tend to applaud personally useful technology and publicly denounce technology seen as causing a perceived or actual loss.

The only factor in the advancement of an AI that can generate "Alan Jackson-style" music effectively is the amount of profit that can be generated. Millions of dollars are not being poured into AI for our amusement and amazement.
