Of all the things AI could do for us it seems a lot of it is about solving problems that didn't need to be solved. There already is way too much music created by actual humans, more than you can ever listen in a lifetime. Why does anyone think adding a gazillion AI created pieces of muzak is something that is needed?And to the OP. You clearly love music and you are creative, why not spent some time learning how to actually do this yourself and be in full control? Actually creating something is the greatest thing in the world, prompting AI to do this is pure dystopia to my musician's soul.
It already has been said by others here:
If this software could generate music following extremely precise detailed prompts it basically becomes a more clunky version of a DAW (digital audio workstation). At that point its you creating the music.
I actually have been working together with people that can't write music themselves but do have a lot of ideas. Basically they were 'prompting' me when sitting together in the studio. A big difference is that I am asking a lot of questions as well in such a situation. Sometimes this becomes a very enjoyable creative proces.
I think current music AI can not go there though as it is not creative itself, it just averages out its initial training data and lets you filter this.
