For a first-hand heartfelt artist’s account of the impact of AI music-technology, take a 10-minute listen to the video provided here:
Beauty
The beauty of AI music is that it provides a new source of combinations, tones, and rhythms, leading to new opportunities to hear new and old music in a new way.
For practicing/real/human musicians, dabbling with AI can give them new ideas and new perspectives on their own work, similar to asking a friend or mentor for ideas or ways to improve their music.
Tragedy
The tragedy of some AI music is that it might provide enough of a substantial difference to avoid/evade copyright restrictions such that the original artist finds himself/herself robbed of his/her own artistic creation that might have taken years and decades to perfect while someone else with zero legitimate musical talent (in the traditional sense) essentially “robs” their lyrics and music after making a few keystroke changes within half a day of modest effort.
