Some people have a lack of appreciation for dating other humans, opting for an AI chat instead. There's a whole industry built around it, judging by all the ads I see on YT.

So yes, if people can grow to prefer an AI mate, they can definitely grow to prefer AI music. Especially where it sings lyrics you generated to match whatever you were thinking at the time, in the style you were hoping to listen to at the time.

Dismal? I'm a musician, and also a grey-beard. This matches the industry progression (or digression, I suppose) exactly, so far as I've seen it going.

Pick a side: Synth didn't kill guitar. Video did kill the radio star.

PS: The fact that they refer to AI music compilations as an "Act" blows my mind in ways I don't think I'll ever be able to embrace. But, here we are. Some bands get flack for lip syncing. Kiss, ABBA and others are getting away with projected avatars. And then we have AI.
