I've been a bedroom producer for years, but lately I'm questioning if AI music tools are stealing the soul from creativity. Last month I used an AI to generate a chord progression, and it sounded perfect—yet I felt empty, like I hadn't actually made anything. Can we genuinely call AI-assisted music 'ours,' or is it just clever curation? I lean toward no, because the emotional struggle and happy accidents in human creation are what make art resonate. But maybe I'm just nostalgic for the old way of working.
