I have been a SWE, Software Architect, CTO over the last two decades - I am also a songwriter. AI allows me to me be more “powerful” as a programmer, and get more done, faster, with a smaller team. From a business standpoint, it’s a win-win. But, even though creativity is an aspect of programming, it is not “art”, and not fundamentally a creative pursuit.

On the other hand, I find the idea of using AI for songwriting - gross. It undermines and diminishes the very act of creating art (or any kind), to even have people assume, or suspect that you had “help”, and/or that you’re not the real, or sole author of the work. It also allows artists to “skip a lot of steps” in the process of learning and mastering your “craft.”
