Even when using BiaB to make a backing track for a song, I use it more for either ideas, or the "mule work" of comp parts, IF there is a compatible style.

Other parts, rearranging and/or editing BiaB output, enhancing other BiaB parts, and so forth are done after make it my own.

Why? What's the fun of letting the machine do all the work? For me, it's the process, the creativity, and the proud feeling when I'm done that I like.

IMO, humanity's greatest pleasures come from tension and relief. Hungry = tension, dinner = relief. Sexual attraction/foreplay = tension, climax = relief. Figuring out a puzzle - tension, solving it = relief. Practicing a difficult piece of music = tension, getting it under your fingers = relief. Conceiving and inputting/tweaking a new user style into BiaB = tension, listening to it work when done = relief.

So for me, having AI write the song for me, would be equivalent to listening to a song someone else wrote. Pleasant, but no tension and relief. Although, using AI to break writer's block, or to spur new ideas, is similar to tricks songwriters have used for centuries. After all, Mozart used playing cards as a source of inspiration for songwriting, similar to a game where cards determine the melody of a song.

Perhaps if I were in the business of songwriting, it would be different, I suppose, the $$$ income would be sufficient. But the creative tension/relief wouldn't be there.
