Prog created with the help of AI

IMO, the use of AI in the arts is not creativity from the heart or mind but simply somewhat lazy. Most here have a dislike/hate of autotune, it was not around back in the day and all vocals were the natural talent of the singer. 

Well, the problem appears when you decide to publish your "creations" made that way. If you publish something, you have to expect the viewers to enjoy it or not. If someone's hobby is to hurt others, it's not fair, right?

because he doesn't do it the way you approve of?

It's not a question of whether I approve it or not. It's generally destructive for creativity. Tons of people have said it why that is. People with a lot more weight of words than just a rando like me.

I don't hate this tech when it's used as a sound design tool rather than a "press here if you lack talent" thing

AI is useful as a way to get the creative process going.  For example, guitarist Jimmy Page would use different tunings on guitar and just play things, to generate ideas.  These were later fleshed out into songs with the band, processed etc. 

I'm not a musician (maybe a non-musician), so I don't feel threatened by AI in the way that a professional musician might. But it seems to me the only musicians that need to worry are the ones that write disposable stock music, the same with stock photography and clip-art. I don't care how advanced and sophisticated AI music gets, it won't replace real music, because it is not REAL. The love for the CREATOR of the music is as important as the music itself, and who can love a bunch of ones and zeros? Or for that matter the human that types a prompt and pushes a button over and over again?

I started composing music back in the late 90s using programs like Fast Tracker and Modplug Tracker. (Here are some tracks from that period: https://soundcloud.com/user-483988808 ) But then I switched to FL Studio, and began to try to achieve high quality arrangements and sound, which requires a lot of time and effort. As a result, I began to lose the desire to write anything at all. After all, this is a hobby, not a main job. For the last 5-6 years I almost gave up, but then suddenly Suno and UDIO appeared and my interest flared up again. In this sense, such programs can encourage people who would normally never do anything like this to engage in some creative activities. 

I've been composing music as a hobby for 25 years. 24 of them without AI assistance:) I see the difference, which is why I use the term "create" rather than "compose". As for the video, it describes the SUNO.ai, which is much worse than UDIO in terms of sound quality and, most importantly, in terms of the degree to which a person can influence the composition. At the moment it is only suitable for producing simple catchy pop songs, which is what I did a few months ago, but then I quickly got tired of it.

That Genesis cloning song is rather awful TBH.
