In my science fiction dreaming there is an AI that could use your words as a prompt. It could give the author a first draft, and the author would be able to "punch up" the music. When you like it, put it out there, and invite folks to run with it, do whatever they want with it. Let a thousand versions blossom!
We have a very very close friend who is a country music star. He is a friend and I won’t show him the song because people ask favors of him all the time.
He uses AI to do musical analysis of his rhythm and to help with rhyming. I asked him if it was commonplace for artists generally to use AI. He told me if an artist had access to a DaVinci or a Michelangelo and did not use their resources they would be nuts.
I started reading science fiction when I was about 10, probably 4th grade, probably 1958. I discovered Andre Norton, whose work was aimed at kids, or at least that's how I look at it now. I have pondered AI in many "sci-fic" (as one of my sisters insisted it should be known) novels. And I majored in philosophy in college, where the "mind-body problem" and the "freedom problem" occupied much of my attention. In a Newtonian universe, how can there be freedom? And to the question "can a machine become sentient?" we must first ask "how is it possible for an animal, human or otherwise, to become sentient?" AI is certainly coming along, but I'll be impressed if we begin to see signs of "heart and soul".
Since songwriting is not my job, I think your idea is brilliant. For someone who makes a living from creating music, they would most likely have a vastly different opinion.
Personally, if someone took my rough attempt at lyrics and made a hit, I would be thrilled. Money isn’t the most important factor in my life. For decades, I was a shark but not anymore.
Gloria, my favorite teachers were good at "inspiration". Creativity in general tends to affect people in ways that lead them to think, or to feel, or to try to be creative in other ways.
An author naturally tries to cause particular thoughts or ideas to occur in the minds of those who read the words. But ultimately, the consumer of the work will react according to their own sensibilities and experience. So we put it out there, and hope for the best.
I agree that "money isn't the most important factor in my life." I would like to be able to help other people conjure a better world in which all of us could live. That would surely be better than merely receiving money.
Not being in that musical community I'm sorry that I don't. But ask around among your other friends.
I’ll give it some thought.

That's not so "sci-fi" nowadays.

The rule is "steal from the best and make it your own." Not "steal from the best and use it like your own."
That is truth!
Word!
