AI is new and already performing in office to a second year law student level.

That's what I got from this.

Also the Secret Invasion intro looked really cool and I hate it but it did. When it comes to depth and meaning it may be a while yet before AI can simulate or bullshit it's way through that but for now it can definitely create interesting and noteworthy pieces.

What is notable that there is a unique culture of making human covers of popular AI based songs. Especially in the vocaloid scene. Same with auto tune and similar tools.

AI isn't going to take the jobs of musicians. It'll just give them more material to work with because people will always seem out "authentic" versions of things they like.
