AI isn’t infallible and it’s really just a filter for low-quality music. I would find it very difficult to approximate something like Moondog, Henry Flynt, Terry Riley, Harry Partch, Squarepusher, Aphex Twin, John Fahey, Arthur Russell, et al.
I think the key is to be uber prolific. Using me, for example, I can improvise a 1-minute song on piano using a three motif system. All I need to do is optimize my workflow to Ableton and voila, song. In fact. It’s a great way to demo ideas and I can imagine even outsourcing it to Fiverr if you needed a bass track, drums, or a remix. How many 1-minute ditties can you create in an hour? Can you do them in all 12 keys and in different feels? Relative minors? Instrumentation? From even just one idea, you can 10x to scale it. Having the ability to be fast is what separates the professionals from the amateurs.
You can also harvest ideas for your pet projects. I have a record player and regularly play along to a skipping record, which works as an ostinato (sometimes it gets aleatoric). This ability to improvise leads to many happy accidents and forces me to make things work. Plus, you can reharmonize on the fly - probably the closest you can get learning how to improvise without playing along to a Jamie Abersold faggotry (you heard me).

How viable is it to play jazz standards and classical renditions to get pussy and money?
I’m 40 and I’m on track to retire up in New England. What can I expect for playing places like Newburyport, Ogunquit, Portsmouth, ski lodges in NH, and other places that want me to add a touch of class?
>inb4 didn’t you ask about using violin to get pussy in parks
We solved that one but I need the 4chan braintrust to give me the confidence to crush crease up in Sam Hyde territory
