The main criticism of AI music from the anti-AI crowd usually centers around braindead tools that spit out a full song at the push of a button. But what about AI in the hands of an actual musician?

Going through the prompt in depth reveals many creative prompting techniques in action which push the boundaries of what is possible with an LLM.
