What harm could it do that a human hasn’t done but worse already? If the dilution of music quality is brought on by cutting some corners – it’s been happening.

Technology has removed obstacles for the less musically inclined.

One can argue the 16-step sequencer enabled music producers that wouldn’t be producing music otherwise, but the financial barrier kept things from getting out of hand. Next, pointing and clicking your way to a complete song on your PC’s DAW became a thing. And NOW it’s out of hand because your DAW is on your phone. Weird how that works, huh?

The response to AI? Could be with disclaimers warning audiences that material they hear was not manufactured by non-sentient authors. Eventually, the bar raises and making that claim isn’t fun enough anymore. So, presentations are captured more transparently. At the very worst, artists will just have to become more creative. *GASP*
