But what if all of the lyrics were AI generated but all of the music was human generated. That could include inputting chords into BiaB, selecting a style, then adding other tracks via guitar, bass, keys, etc. Or what if all of the instrumentation was done "organically"? Wouldn't these scenarios indicate a a significant amount of human authorship? I would think so but hey, I'm just a guitarist.

I think the group most likely to make money off of AI are lawyers. YMMV

The way the US LOC office looks at AI currently is that anything not created by human hands and mind is not eligible for LOC copyright registration and protection. Music or lyrics. Whatever part YOU create is eligible. Just not the machine parts.

No... using BB to put chords and music to a composition is not in the same category. That is a human doing the creating. It is 100% human created. BB doesn't create anything on it's own.

The ones most likely to make money from this AI is the folks who control the subscription websites that are hosting the AI. Suno, Udio, etc.... And the ones holding the rights to the AI..... no one on the user side is making anything that amounts to much.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
