I feel like “ai generated” music when it’s not lyrical isn’t such an awful thing - ambient sound and the like. I mean, music may not be mathematically solved yet, but we’ve certainly had music-generation algorithms for decades, and there’s no real harm in that. There’s a time and a place for a human to create art, and times for artificially created pleasant sound.
I like to split it into the art and the craft. AI can execute the craft of drawing or creating music or lyrics, but only a human can exercise and elevate a medium to something that really speaks to people on anything more than a superficial level.
It’s perfectly fine to like something that isn’t art. Hell, it’s perfectly fine to have a definition of art that can include AI, that’s just a framing for talking about the things AI does well vs. the things it doesn’t. I find that where a human can mix different things together in a way that enriches the whole, AI mixes things together in contradictory ways because it lacks human experience. It’s why, AI pictures usually come out flat and lifeless or includes nonsense details that don’t fit or includes requested details in incongruous ways.
That said, I only know about Hatsuni Miku through my kids. I don’t really know anything about that specifically.
It’s always interesting seeing the line people will draw between what they see as art vs product. I would be disappointed by anyone who tricked me into listening to theft-generated music, whether people consider it legitimate art or not
I’m pretty sure the lofi music streams on YouTube are majority ai-generated. But I just put it on for background music, I don’t actually listen to it.

They already have concerts and shit like that hologram 2pac so I reckon AI concert will become more common.

product vs process
How something is made may become the new curiosity, especially when novel approaches and instruments are used.
