> Nor is it music without a musician.

The case of music is quite fascinating. YouTuber Rick Beato is following it very closely. He seems to think that quite soon people will listen to AI generated music even knowing it is AI-generated music. They will listen to it because they'll enjoy it and they will not care who or what made it. I personally think he is right. Music can be enjoyed in a way no other art can, in that sense it might become kind of a drug.

Now some people think that will never happen because AI music will always be bad, but recently he posted a video in which he tells us that his kids can immediately tell an AI-generated song from a normal one. He is baffled because he himself can't do that. But he also tells us that one of his kids thinks that he probably won't be able to tell it anymore in six months or something. In other words, a young person with such a good ear is confident that AI-generated music will soon be if not good, at least indistinguishable from human-made music. I think that's indicative of where things are going.
