Digital music has always been fine to me, as long as the song being produced feels like it took a human some amount of effort.

Yeah I agree with that nuance, as I personally enjoy making AI covers of songs I like in genres that I can't produce myself (old vintage blues covers of 80s new wave songs if you must know). It's a fair amount of work prompting and curating (and editing in some cases). I think they are cool and have shared a few, but they do tend to get lumped in with "ai slop" and some people take offense.
This is a much more concise and effective way of communicating my thoughts ha
