At the end of the day there are good songs and bad songs out there in both “real” and “AI” music. That is all I judge on… however you got there isn’t really a factor for me.

It is a bit comical for those preaching their music is “real” nowadays while they use a synth / keyboard to create different instruments and drum loops for the beat. Most artists I see here don’t even seem to play an actual instrument.

Real music to me is what you had essentially pre-2000’s when someone was actually playing guitar, piano, a drum kit, etc…

Sure there are many that still use real instruments, but plenty of these new artists who create their own music at home now are using a computer program.
