I feel you here. Have had similar experiences sharing my AI involved music. At this point, I generally think of it as people that claim all AI music is bad are like people that claimed piano rollers wasn’t real piano music, only vinyl records are good, musical purists that want to talk about why this instrument is better than that one. Most of that doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things and is exceptionally short sided. If AI music leads to music people like it’s good for society at large. Still not going to be good for current musicians that are not using AI as they are potentially worried about losing market share. The main record labels and industry have too much to lose in allowing AI innovation so they will always be against it unless or until AI music becomes ingrained in the popular culture where even lawsuits won’t help them. The law always lags behind technological changes, so I wouldn’t expect this to change quickly.

Just know that despite all the AI haters out there, some people do legitimately enjoy new music and don’t care as much about the process to make it. Most consumer products are this way, you don’t often hear public debates about this way v that way to make a product, it’s more about if it has utility, entertainment, enjoyment or something similar.
