I fully agree, but that’s not what all music is. Most commercial music is pure craft created by expensive professionals that the music corporations would be very happy to swap with expendables and cheap AI models.

It boils down to the economic model and the financial and political choices like in every creative industry.

Regarding potential displacement, I would apply the stock photography theory to any creative industry. Ask yourself: is what I do in my creative endeavor the equivalent of stock content for the visual imaging industry? If the answer is yes, you might want to future proof your craft. If the answer is no (as in, your art is more than a simple soulless piece of easily digested and quantity-oriented content) then you will be fine in the long run after the current unsustainable hype cycle dies out.

I think even people who are writing songs for cash are actually looking inside, they just perfected a method of doing it and can do it all the time. AI wouldn't be able to do that unless is designed to work like human and has human experience.

The stock photography stuff is either documenting event or displaying low effort illustration for low effort productions. I guess AI can be good at churning Apple images for low effort Apple news.
