Prog created with the help of AI

   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. It could be argued that this would lead to an oversaturation of the music market and harm professional musicians. However, let's be honest, musicians who make music primarily for self-expression in most cases can make money only from live concerts. But concerts are here to stay. At least in the next 10-15 years. And when they mostly disappear, it will not be because of amateurs using AI to create music, but because of the AIs themselves, who will begin to create music for each specific person in a fully automatic mode. 
As for musicians who create music primarily for money, this, in my opinion, is not an art at all, but a craft, which is absolutely logical to automate. And this is neither good nor bad, this is progress. It's unavoidable.
Nobody forbids you to compose music the old fashioned way in the future, but you must be prepared for the fact that you will spend a lot of effort and time, but almost no one will listen to it. In fact, even now almost no one will listen to it, unless you express yourself by composing trendy catchy pop music (but even in this case there will be few listeners without special promotion).
