Yeah, I do imagine, it won't be just AIs either. And then, it will obviously be possible to take it to an excellent song, given enough human hours invested.

I do wonder, how useful it will actually be for that, though. Often times, it really fucks you up to try to go from good to excellent and it can be freeing to start fresh instead. In particular, 'excellent' does require creative ideas, which are easier for humans to generate with a fresh start.
But AI may allow us to start over fresh more readily, if it can just give us a full song when needed. Maybe it will even be possible to give it some of those creative snippets and ask it to flesh it all out. We'll have to see...
