As a tool, it could be useful as a starting point (a way to get your creativity going), but the sound is completely wrong.

Early Udio generated songs when run through a stem splitter were horrible to listen to and you could hear how it was just generating the frequencies with none of the texture—like a simulation of the frequencies an instrument would produce.

At the very least they should be re-recorded with real instruments and vocals or using the existing digital tools. Slop is one word; I like to use mush, as that is what it sounds like when you really listen closely.

I think it’s useful in a number of ways.
