After playing around with some of the AI tools, I think I have concluded the following:
1) My "audience" for my songwriting projects is me. Besides posting here on the forum, no one really listens to my work except me. My songs all go into my listening library for when I exercise, travel, etc. So, in the end, while I value the feedback on the forum, I'm just pleasing me.
2) I get tired of listening to my own voice, and I like the variety of "singers' that I can get with Suno, Audimee and other like tools. Makes my completed projects different and interesting, even if they aren't 100% natural-sounding, and it's a lot cheaper than hiring talent.
3) I like the idea of AI "covering" my song...that also gives the finished work a different, often unexpected, spin
4) I'm not a performer, so I am quite limited in how I can realize my songwriting idea, so using AI "performers" (including BIAB's RT's) is very necessary for me.
5) I am 100% against the idea of using AI tools to "write" songs, or any portion of music or lyrics---to me this is a violation of the act and craft of songwriting.
One final thought about using AI--I find that some of the synthetic tools, like Synth V, can take more technical effort and involvement than I have patience for, so I appreciate being able to "submit" and "get the result" quickly.

That's my sense of AI right now...I wanted to write this just to organize my thoughts...thanks for listening!
