Why not both? We can enjoy starting a song with the help of AI, then add other instruments and effects to it to make it better.

He's right, though.

People don't want to spend all their time practicing instruments to improve their skills. This is already proven by electronic artists using samples and digital instruments instead of learning to play each instrument individually.

That doesn't mean we should use AI generated garbage instead of musicians, however. To me, the electronic producer is still an artist, just a different kind.

I think people enjoy musical instruments. Digital music really hasn't caught on much. There are and always will be plenty of musicians playing traditional instruments of all kinds.

Digital music really hasn’t caught on much.

I just found out that modular synths are a thing and it looks pretty fun to me! It's like half music and half electrical engineering, LOL.

(Don't get me wrong, I knew about keyboard synthesizers and whatnot, but the concept of making music with a bunch of oscillators and random voltage generators patched together is 🤯.)

(Also, shout out to !obscureinstruments@sh.itjust.works for putting me on the Youtube random walk that lead to that video.)

Electronic music is a different artform, but it's still fun and satisfying for the people who make it. Plus, I'd argue that most people who make electronic music do it because they like that type of music, not because they don't want to learn the violin or whatever.
