I wouldn't want to push a button and have a song come out. That becomes playing music instead of making music.

But I wouldn't mind AI as an inspirational tool.

In any case, the odds of me writing a hit song, with or without AI's help is very slim.

On the other hand, if I was a popular artist with a string of hits, or a record producer who needs to turn a profit on every song, and I was temporarily under pressure and out of ideas, I just might want to push a button and have a song come out.

Punch cards put the fabric weavers out of business, and all the resistance and attacks by the Luddites didn't get their jobs back.

When digital recording appeared, all my tape splicing and other analog skills were worthless. But the new digital recording skills made everything better.

Nobody needs to learn how to drive a stick shift, or manually crank a Model T Ford anymore. CGI put plenty of special effects people out of work. Floppy Disk makers had to find something else to do.

AI is here, if it is affecting your business songwriting, photography, or whatever, learn how to use it, or go to a “plan B”

Once the change happens, there is no going back.
