I've seen a number of posts like this usually wanting a specific device that is good for kids that has the appeal of old computers. The answer is that any laptop loaded with creativity app works great if you have an attitude shift that it is a creative device rather than a consumption device. Choose your apps and get used to building things with it. Avoid social media, youtube, netflix, and the fun will come back.

AI music will be cool for 10 minutes and then you realize one of the reasons you listen to music is about shared human experience. If it’s just a generated blip that everyone is generating and resharing it’ll eventually have the same appeal as blogspam. AI music will cause people to go back to seeking out performed music played on instruments or in a live setting. You'll have music sites that only allow music that has videos of humans playing/creating it. Every AI action will have an equal but opposite human reaction.
