The real tools behind the story: Apple’s Session Players and harmonic workflow inside Logic Pro.

Apple’s Synth Player joins Logic Pro’s AI Session Players with chordal and synth-bass performances. Apple says it responds to controls including complexity and intensity, follows the project’s harmony, and can work with third-party Audio Units instruments or external hardware synthesizers. Apple ↗
That puts the emphasis on collaboration inside the session rather than replacing the session.
Start With Your Musical Identity
Try building around a progression, melody, or recorded performance that already feels personal. Then use a generated synth performance to explore a supporting role: a restrained pad, rhythmic chords, or a contrasting bass movement.
Change one thing at a time. A useful performance can become distracting when its rhythm, sound, and intensity all compete with the lead.
Because Synth Player can address third-party instruments and external synths, the performance and the sound source are not necessarily the same creative decision. You can explore a part first, then choose the instrument that belongs in your track. Apple ↗
The interesting question is not whether an AI part sounds impressive alone. It is whether it makes your song feel more complete.
