You're literally talking about capitalism fucking over the artist here. There no reason the AI can't be helping you do the boring shit in your work faster and why it shouldn't only benifit you directly.
It can also be used to improve your skills as an artist. For example, there's a music theory plugin called Scaler 2 which uses AI. You can run recordings through Scaler and it will spit out the chords and key the songs are in. I've been using it to learn music theory. I'm not sure if any of y'all have tried learning music theory in a formal setting but a lot of teachers are incredibly pretentious, especially if you tell them you're a guitarist or want to make electronic dance music. You could technically use it to write entire songs but those would be boring and lifeless.
yeah its useful to do dumb boring work. not offload the entire creative process to it. Its like saying photoshop ruined photography. Rather I would argue it created an entire sub-genre of photos.
We shouldnt lose the tool because of other tools trying to yuck our yum.
