I think it’s a talent that a lot of people appreciate, regardless of who wrote the words.
I think the average person appreciates the singing more than the lyrics in general, even in cases where that may be disappointing.
As a writer who has used AI to generate the vocals for songs I wrote, I can tell you that even a great performance of well-written music gives people “bad vibes” when they realize it’s a machine singing it.
Most art is a human-to-human experience and having an impassioned performance from a machine gives people the willies, even if a human wrote the song. Especially if they can’t tell it’s a machine and find out later.
Maybe this will change over time, but I think it’s ultimately about what speaks to people the most. Bob Dylan isn’t famous for being the best singer. Ariana Grande isn’t famous for being the best song-writer.
