In this situation it's safe to say that the DJ of the 90s vs AI today is an "Apples and oranges" comparison.
Where you're taking an endeavour of human effort to take bits of music that already exist and making something brand new out of it, much the same way you could reuse wood claimed from an old 1920s boat to make a new one. Comparing that to "The computer program that makes something that sounds like it could be music because it's copying real songs."
I know it's just an analogy to give an example but ive heard the argument so many times now it's become habit to talk it through lol.
In terms of holding two similar beliefs that are tangentially related, it's entirely possible to say where you draw the line, especially if the argument is a fallacy, for example like the slippery slope, where a person arguing believes that any minor concession will have an exaggerated impact.
