Is AI Music Real Art?

AI music is everywhere. I find it fascinating to be able to create AI music, especially since I’m not a musician and never thought I could have any input in a piece of music. Now I do. But I know the fad of AI-generated music will fade soon. People won’t listen to AI-generated vocal music for long because it still sounds too unnatural. However, AI-generated instrumental music will last, as it will serve as cheap filler for many occasions and use cases that previously couldn’t afford customize...
