For me music is a form of emotional expression. When I hear that was composed synthetically I feel like it has zero value. I’m fine with AI music that is labels as AI, but when someone markets that music as their own hand made art it feels, or at least I feel, like I’ve been scammed.

(A significant fraction of) musicians are certainly upset about this. I know a few who feel like their smallish income is threatened by this.

Perhaps it's your sphere; I know many musicians (mostly Jazz and people in punk bands) and they aren't thrilled to say the least. Like most things, it's contextual.

> Oddly none of the anti-‘s were musicians themselves.

It is clearly plain to anyone who is a musician or hangs out with a lot of musicians that the independent music world is livid about this stuff. Everyone I’ve talked to, from acoustic songwriters to metal singers to circuit-bending pedalheads are united in their absolute hatred of this technology.

(Yes, follow-up commenter, I’ve seen the Timbaland interview)

It's all just painfully derivative in a very literal sense. I wonder what I'd think if I didn't know some of these were AI, but once you know, it's hard to ignore.
