A drum track isn't a song Fde. And punching in a couple chords to a drum track isn't either. But udio creates entire songs while stealing others' work.

What are they "stealing?" Music theory isn't stealing. Assessing styles and formats and choosing favorites isn't stealing. Learning how reverb, delay, compression, mix levels, panning etc. works and coming up with new versions and mixes is not cheating. Music theory is a universal language. Learning about settings on widely available recording gear is not cheating.
These are NOT samples of any particular artist. And every artist has learned in part from every artist before them. Music is always derivative of what came before.
Can udios lowest common denominator just squirter out random music? Sure. Randomly hitting keys on a keyboard can do the same thing. But neither is very compelling. And in Udios case it still needs instructions. Not just from the person using it, but the thousands of programmers who built and maintain UDIO. It is human created and human maintained. All sorts of plug-ins will similarly make music with minimal human input. None of it is very good. Smart creative people CAN make it sound good. The same as anyone can hit piano notes and make pleasant tone, but it takes more to make a quality song. Humans are required at every stage.
