Engineer on ElevenMusic (so discount accordingly). I like to think of the model as an instrument - something you can sit with for hours and get better at. The people who stick around the most treat it that way (they write their own lyrics, upload half finished songs as reference, bring their own voice back from old recordings etc..). For example my dad was in a band in the 80s and stopped writing music and it's fun to see him make it again.

Every time a barrier drops (samplers, synths, autotune, GarageBand, sample packs) this argument gets made and it is partly right. Plenty of what gets made on our platform is complete slop but if your only contribution to a song was a "make a pop song" prompt that's what you deserve. You are right that nobody was ever short of music - but many people are short of a way to make it so we build for them.

I'm an engineer on elevenmusic and we are working hard to restore availability (which has been sporadic over the last 10 minutes). We're working very hard behind the scenes to bring it back online.
