I dont think AI music proliferation is in favor of music studios at all, hence why they want to crush it by all means necessary. You should question your stance when you find yourself on the same side as the MPAA/RIAA/etc. I am in favor of being able to find music I like, with the least friction possible, without fueling the legacy music industry that is inflated far beyond reasonability. |

They (theoretically) have the physical infrastructure and capital to produce entirely AI-generated records, master and press them, promote and market them, retain an in-house band to play the record and book venues for them to play in (see also: Live Nation/Ticketmaster).
The members of the band are replaceable, thus capping the compensation ceiling.
The label retains almost all of the revenue end-to-end in this model. No messy contracts (except to AI providers).
Why would they invest in human talent that has needs, like, idk, sleep, when they can have AI-generated artists that can be available any time for any reason? (Lots of people don't care where their music comes from, unfortunately, and Spotify, the biggest streaming app, is already working hard to desensitize people to AI-generated tracks.)
