Great piece, I wasn't aware at how far A.I. music has progressed! In your opinion do you think people will disclose if they've made music using A.I. ?
I think A.I. will just become another means for making music, a little like how DAWs are the norm now instead of getting the sounds authentically like in the 80s and 90s. The glamorous take of asking A.I. to make a whole new song will be out there, I think, but I don't think many will use it as that is losing the magic of making music.
