What happens to live music in this scenario?

How will new artists break into this market? Existing artists who are popular may be able to make these "models" as you call them, but how will new artists break into this market? How will they rise above the inevitable noise?

Actually, I see the opposite happening. I think we're going to witness the resurgence of the singer/songwriter and artists like Taylor Swift are already paving the way for that to happen. EDM might get off on what you're envisioning, but I don't think others are headed that way.

All great questions. With these generative AI tools, the effort required for making quality music has dramatically decreased. The big challenge becomes how do you stand out in a very crowded market. To break out, I think you almost need to have other artists (or influencers) who have already made it validate your work and expose you to their audiences.
