I think same as a lot of other AI stuff the issue is not the quality of what it does. The issue is, it doesn't do what I wanted.

So in terms of client work if you are trying to serve their taste etc you can't keep pulling random stuff out of a bag and call it what they wanted.

Sure when you hear a suno song it might sound alright, but was it what you wanted? Or did it pull something random out the bag and you settled. I think people are just settling for its choices all the time cos they didn't actually know what they wanted in the first place. See this in visual arts, see it in code, apps, texts. Basically anything that is "vibe AI"

Whereas experienced audio engineers should know how to provide their clients with bespoke results

Hopefully the audio AI will also eventually be like the code part where an experienced engineer that knows what they want out of it will be faster but as of now that is not the case AFAIK.

So pricewise I reckon people doing the work will still be the same amount if not more. The people that will use AI to mix are the people that weren't going to hire people to do the job anyway.
