> Right now, people effectively spend ~0% of their time entertaining themselves with their own music, art, writing, film, etc.

First, the 0% figure is not true. People do write stories, play instruments or draw pictures.

Second, everybody who really feels a desire to express themselves creatively has akready been able to do so. Nothing was stopping you from writing poems, drawing pictures or picking up an instrument. Recording music has never been so easy. The "problem" is, of course, that it takes some effort. LLMs seem to provide a convenient shortcut, but you effectively skip the whole artistic process.

IMO it's better to either engage with existing great art or make an honest and humble attempt at creating your own art. You will learn so much more about music by trying to learn the piano or guitar than by prompting Suno.

And who said it has?

You seem to imply that you can't have created any art ever in your life if you ever did anything with AI.

It's almost as if you can do both, and it's almost as if you're open-minded you can appreciate either when it's worth appreciating.

Sorry, I've seen just as much thoughtless garbage from humans as from AI...

The human touch is not automatically genius, and the AI touch is not automatically derivative trash...
