It's not as if there's a shortage of new music either

That's what always gets me, too. Precisely the reason why these "AIs" can generate music is because we have such an abundance of readily accessible music already. By definition, they can only create more where we don't actually need more.

We could use different music by exploring new genres, but you can hardly do that by generating patterns from existing music.

And obviously, folks may often want more music from their favorite artist, but well, I doubt they want it to come from some machine pretending to be their favorite artist.
Similarly, there's room for meaningful songs. If Sam from biology class writes you a love song, that's hella cute, no matter if it's yet another rock song. But again, you don't want that to come from a machine.

In many ways, it is extremely depressing how the best use for these "AIs" is specifically grifting. If you want to make a quick buck by stealing someone's creativity, they are fucking excellent for that.
