AI has no effect on singer-songwriters. People that are into someone playing an instrument and singing their own poetry in a live setting will keep the form alive. People that listen to expensively produced hot-100-esque music are already not that interested in watching live music. What does Nick Cave need to worry about? When he tours people go to listen to his music and poetry, not someone else’s! Do you think live music is going to suffer that much more since the ultimate dagger, the phonograph?

  Yeah. How quickly we forget the hologram Tupac and Gorillaz concerts as well as a the virtual live concerts from Fortnite.

  I don’t think that people into artists like John Prine are going to be into what’s akin to showing up with a record and pressing play! They already want a human expression.

The effect is that, at least for 90% of my music listening, I'm looking for new music, with a few genres that I really like. Only occasionally do I queue up a classic that I know well. And I am completely uninterested in the people making it. My wife is the opposite. The person is hugely important. So there will be, in our household, a 50% (45, I guess) decrease in the need for human artists. But I am happy to pay someone to generate that music for me, like a Spotify.ai or something! What I don't want is a destruction of any creation and shared experience. It's been the same for mid journey. I will spend an hour generating imagery for posters or desktop or game art or ttrpg etc etc. I don't even bother image searching most of the time. But I still enjoy sharing with the game crew or friends.
