These threads remind me a lot of some of Isaac Asimov "Robots" series novels. He painted a world where Robots and AI solved a lot of things, so people didn't have to do things that "worried them". It seems some lost any meaning for living. I've been an "amateurish" guitar player for 30 years. I play chords, I do some OK picking and I love trying to "play" songs I like, even if badly played (I like speed metal and shredding, which I know I will never master in my lifetime). Nevertheless, I do it because I like it, I've seen Satriani, Oscar Lopez, Steve Vai play, and I know I'll never be like them. However I don't think "why bother". I enjoy playing basic guitar some afternoons in my living room, and my wife enjoys listening to me while reading a book. I've always played for me first, and because I enjoyed it. It is a very rare opportunity that we people have the ability/resources to do something just because we enjoy it. With the advent of this wave of AI, we will need to learn to do more things that way.
