Curious why these tools are not going in the direction of co-creation? Allow the end-user to tinker, play along, and turn the dials on what would be a very advanced synthesizer.
Yes, but as a producer I would like to have more simplistic generations such as "Generate me 15 variations of a kick that sounds like X", I think stuff like this would be much more useful.
Well, what is AI music? I uploaded many of my songs I produced over the last three decades to Suno and very much enjoy the new arrangements and great solos (see e.g. https://rochus-keller.ch/?p=1350). So yes, I hear AI music, and no, it's not fake at all. If you consider it fake, you should also consider all the singers fake who don't hit the right note without autotune, or all the kids who just turn some knobs or press some buttons. I think that's just the way music develops. AI is just another instrument, like the Synclavier in the eighties or its much cheaper siblings in the nineties, or more recent "aids" like Melodyne before there were music generating models.
