My opinion, which nobody has to agree with:
As a consumer: if a song touches me, I don't care whether it was written by a human,
an AI or an extra-terrestrial hard rock God from Alpha Centauri.
Others may disagree, but I've heard AI-generated songs that were really good.
As a wannabee musician: Like most of you, I have this inner urge to make music to express myself.
To leave that to someone else would take away the very thing that makes me do what I do: creating lyrics, chords and melodies
and solve the puzzle to put it all together until it works or not.
This also includes the ever-present self-doubt:
- Can I even make the song work?
- Is it good?
- Will I ever be able to make a good song again?
- Almost no one ever listens to my music. Do I suck?
As an ethical/philosophical person: I'm fine as long as you don't claim: "I wrote/created this song".
No, you didn't. You told someone else to write it.
If anything, you could call yourself a producer.
As a lawyer (which I am not): If you write software that creates music, that's fine with me as long as all the sources you have used have agreed to be used.
You can't offer a sample player with uncleared samples.
