    Don’t most artists, except a few already wealthy ones like Paul, make basically nothing on record sales and streaming?

    AI can’t do live performances, yet.

      AI can pump out at least hundreds of song a day. They don’t have to make much money per track when they can drown out everything else with sheer numbers.

      Live bands are capped by how much they have to give the venue and ticket master. It’s getting to the point where real bands will need to pledge themselves to a wealthy sponsor to continue to make a living.

      There’s been attempts for AI-like performances, just infantile starts. Like the one time there was a Tupac concert and it was just a digitized version of himself. That’s probably what the future entails, but AI looking to improve it.

        Businessmen milking talented dead people for as much as possible. Exactly what it’ll be used for.

      I have to admit I get frustrated of the wealthier artists who started their careers singing of revolution and peace, yet gatekeep entry to the business and don’t speak up against the stuff that’s happening in the world. They just sit in glass houses.

        you’re saying protesting the use of AI to make music is gatekeeping entry? It’s more like protecting the IP of fellow musicians. How do you think AI was trained to make music? Do you think musicians were compensated for that training?
