      The whole point of AI music is to turn Music from an art form into a product, from something that is unique and personal and has meaning to people to something that can be mass produced and consumed as a product.

      Then half of the modern world is baffling to you. Do you feel the same way about coin-operated player pianos? Or kaleidoscope projectors?

      People will seek to make money from anything they can.

        You aren’t even trying. Both of your examples require human interaction and imagination at the time of creation.

        Player pianos aren’t black boxes of plagiarism and kaleidoscopes don’t show amalgams of other people’s works.
