Or maybe the two truths can coexist: some people will worship SpongeBob and others Taylor Swift, all will attend both live and virtual shows of both, with the only negative consequence that SpongeBob will now eat (more of) the cake of some other human artist. It's still displacement just slightly less dramatic. As for myself, I'm a simple man, going only to cellar live shows which cannot be replaced by AI as the very reason of being there is... being there with the artist. So the AI seems to only threaten the pop industry, not undeserved if you ask me.
