> I do disagree with this conclusion. Screwing around on the keyboard is fun, and I imagine people who actually make music like yourself have fun doing structured versions of that. Why deny yourself that enjoyment? It’s not like there weren’t more talented people around before the AI craze started (presumably) at making songs. This can be cured with a perspective shift I’m quite confident.

It's also not a novel argument. Why write new music or perform music at all in an era in which recordings are widely available?
