Reading some of the recent comments about AI music software and having played around a little with some AI music generation software, in my opinion it is a great tool for songwriters to test out their lyrics and give some indication of how it could sound when professionally produced, but in the small amount of testing I did, it seemed clear to me that the voices and chord choices chosen by the AI software, were being matched to actual artists in the genre chosen, with some vocal auto tuning probably being used to manipulate the real vocal voice sample and manipulated to make the (new lyrics match with the voice and chord sequences) For instance, the lyrics I entered in my testing were my own and I chose Genre as Country, and let the software do the rest, well it sounded good and also sounded like Willie Nelson was singing my lyrics.
The thing is I didn't enter any chord or music selection, that was generated by the software, obviously using sampled chords, backing tracks etc. I think you can load your own audio if you wish and get the software to match your lyrics to your audio track, but I didn't spend too much time on further testing.

I see issues in using these AI generators being challenged by Artist's and Music producers, and rightly so from my initial testing and the obvious sampled voices and musical struc
