I'm going to harp on this again but, yes, yes AI-generated content is derivative. Music is appealing *because* it is an innately human, creative act.

I don't want AI created art, there is no value there. Generative AI will increase the volume of available content and data, but we already have a glut of that. The original creators of art and music are already struggling to make a living.
