It threatens the music industry for sure, but I doubt most musicians would turn up their nose at another creative tool. Imagine how fun it would be to dig through a crate of AI-generated samples, or use a couple sentences to describe the perfect drum fill. There's an entire other echelon of artistry we're missing, simply because everyone is fearmongering AI. Pop music has always been a field of engineering, so a robot that can automate the process of writing a catchy tune should destroy your business.
What I've heard is "something that sounds like music" not actual music. Music of any genre has a purpose, a direction, a meaning. Otherwise what's the point?
Wouldn't the record label need to the identify the particular copy-write that was violated? The generated music is bound to be very much different then any individual piece.
