> Like why sculpt anything by hand when you can just get AI do model and then 3d print it.

Recreation is different, you're doing it for the fun of it, to learn.

This is a common misdirection. Nobody is charting with an AI song. Nobody cares about AI pop music. People are however using ai for jingles, interstitials, elevator music etc because nobody cares if some failed musician has poured his heart and soul into a theme tune for the menu of an educational dvd, they just want the end product... Nobody cares if formulaic crap is soulless, because it already was.
