> Or also, AI music will lessen the good feeling some people get when they believe that musicians can make money producing music.

If that is your way of saying that AI will remove the possibility for humans to create music full time due to there being no money anymore in music then sure.

> I don't disagree that these things exist, but I do believe that these are mostly propped up by dynamics that will soon no longer exist.

Which are?

The same dynamic that propped up blacksmiths, potters, tailors, etc.: the absense of scaling/automating technology. There is still demand for authentic artisanal crafts and the "good feeling" that these people can earn money, but the magnitude has been reduced to the farmer's markets.

I can see a similar thing playing out with music. There will still be some token demand, but people will not pay the same when they can have a magic, infinitely producing on-demand, tailored-to-their-taste music machine, at vanishingly small marginal costs.

I would agree with your analysis but the conclusion you make of your analysis is that this is a good thing?

Just a realistic thing. Or, a good thing for consumers, a bad thing for producers (and a bad thing for producers who are actually consumers in disguise of a desired lifestyle and/or status).

It's only realistic if you let it happen.

Good for consumers is highly debatable since we'd lose one more social connection in life. Something we are running a very high debt tab for already.

We would also lose musical knowledge since all the full-time musicians would have to stop playing. Only amateur musicians would remain.

And the "desired lifestyle" / "desired status" would be transferred to the already very, very rich and powerful AI company CEOs. Such an improvement ...
