Generating music defeats the whole purpose of making music. DAWs took a lot of effort out of it, but at the end of the day it was still your composition and your lyrics. When you have models essentially filling in the gaps of your own emotions to make something sound nice you aren't really creating music, you're commissioning it.
We've always had soulless corporately made music, but now anyone with $20 can churn it out endlessly and pollute any platform that will accept it.
Well, it just gets down to the point where if you don't see a band or artist that tours live, you know it's AI. If the artist doesn't have a website and tour dates listed that are verifiable.. Well, there you go.
I'm sticking to live artsts at this point.

It's already possible for AI to perform live as a hologram

What about bands like Gorillaz? I don't know they are real and I've seen them live. They are puppets and cartoons.
It was possible long before – Miku
Gorillaz? They look pretty real onstage to me.
Solid band. I've got their music in a few playlists..
Can't speak to holograms. NGL though.. if a band is totally digital and it's performing onstage as hologrammatic images, those tickets better be damn cheap.
