But they might use AI to give them some angles on arguments and case law. (At today's state of the art, even that is hazardous because AI just keeps making things up out of thin air.)
Skilled artists aren't going to have AI produce their next album, but they might use some AI to try out some different ideas. And they can certainly use some AI in the production process.
Things will probably look a lot different in 10 years or even 5 years, and I will probably have a different view by then. However, as of today, IMHO, anybody who relies heavily on AI is probably just faking it in the first place. It isn't that much different from AutoTune.
And a reality in the pop world is that it has been a long time since anybody outside the top 1% have been making a living from record company contracts or radio airplay (or now Spotify royalties). The reality for most pop itinerant musicians is that they have to make their living from live shows. If they want to mix in some AI or backing tracks, that's an artistic choice as far as I am concerned. Is it really different from when live bands first started using Oberheim or Prophet synths to add string sounds to the live performance? How dare they fake their strings? This is putting violinists out of work.
The day that songs are produced entirely with AI is the day I expect to see a show with nothing but Elon Musk's robots in the audience.
And I'm not really kidding about that. Some people have predicted it will not be long until more than half the traffic on the Internet will be bots pushing around bullshit AI content consumed by other bot accounts. Anybody on Facebook lately is probably being flooded with the tsunami of articles that tell an emotional story of a heroic figure prevailing over impossible odds, written in the style of all that old Paul Harvey crap. None of it is true, but the fake stories are flooding the zone.
