For me, the point of making music is making it myself. If want to have something done for me I could just play someone else's record and pretend like I made it.
The is the age-old music parochial thing. "Oh, he's just in a cover band, he doesn't write anything" / "Oh, she's just a composer, she can't even play the stuff she writes" / "Oh, he writes and plays his own stuff but knows fuck all about theory so it's not real music" / etc. Me, I'm having a blast with claude code, MCP, and Ableton. I'm directing harmony and asking for arrangements and variations in rhythm, mixing,…
I think the question with AI in music is when it gets to that point. What's the musical spec? What's the implementation? If the spec is supposed to be the pure distillation of my intent, then shouldn't that mean each time I engage AI to "implement" the spec, the musical output of the AI should be the same?
At that point I'm all in favor of using AI for music. But when AI is used to replace a specific intent with vague intent, that's where I feel like something is lost in the human experience of human-created music.
