People have said that about robots and computers in the workplace, and indeed, since the 60s, more and more jobs have been automated. And there are less musicians now. Film scores and albums are produced with samples instead of bands or orchestras, reducing demand for session players, leading to less income for musicians, leading to less musicians.

And while automating dangerous jobs is a good thing, generating AI music isn't. It's not as unethical as generating deepfakes, but it's useless, and bad for society.

I mean you say that.. but the counter point.. is maybe I don't like your lyrics and I want to make my own.

Then write your own. Maybe you're no good at it, but you're not going to improve by just copying them from the chatgpt console.

Right, I write my own and plug them into a song generation service. With as little trial and error, I get a song I listen to.
