Hatsune Miku kind of helps my argument here, because they still needed a personified identity for the music even though none of it's real. So then we ask, if Hatsune Miku could be manifested into the real world, do you not think their fans would be absolutely ecstatic? Behold, humans, the solution to that problem.

I know it's possible to get some people excited about an avatar, but I'm going to argue that the vast majority of people would prefer humans for as long as they can get them.

You might want to check out a Hatsune Miku concert on YouTube because humans are actually entirely redundant if you can just generate the song. (You'll probably want to mute the audio though, otherwise your ears might start to bleed)

There is a 3d avatar dancing on the floor. The holographic technology in the context of concerts is incredible at this point.

As a matter of fact, its likely going to be in favour of AI if you consider VR headset etc, as the coming generations will be able to interact with the virtual artists, giving the producer am even easier time to get money from the consumers.

I'm not looking forward to that future to be honest.

/Edit: After thinking about it some more: I think I agree that the potential music generation isn't going to change anything by itself. It's just another building block that will enable the music industry to eventually remove real humans from the equation. while we're slowly progressing on that path, the music generation alone won't push us to the logical conclusion.
