There is a difference between using AI to write the song completely (lyrics and melody) and using it in the same way one would collaborate with another writer working from each other's input to the lyrics and melody in the writing process. When you collaborate with someone, it's not your idea necessarily that gets used or is the best, but it's acceptable to do that. And then sometimes what you come up with is in fact the best part of the collab. But that's a discussion for another day.

Using AI or synth vocals to me is not any different from using a synth to play a nice piano sample or strings in a song or a drum program to play the drums in a song or using BB to do the tracks. In another forum many years ago, my use of BB tracks in my songs was considered to be "cheating" and considered by quite a few folks there to be beneath a "real musician".
