The reason I am here is also the reason I think about these issues.

Really, if you could get it down to a one-click Google-based operation, how would you regard the recordings you were producing? Would the experience of clicking one up be anything like the experience of actually composing it? Would you really feel you just created a new song? But it will be SO tempting, won't it? Record a new album in the time it takes to put together a playlist! Get the optional CrimeLord module and the generator will avoid training on tunes with a history of copyright litigation.

I do have mixed feelings about that scenario.

But it's not about "fear", it's about where we want to go, collectively and individually. And exactly how much we choose to value efficiency, convenience, and automation, and why, and over what other values.
