I think it will at least find a niche where it outperformes humans, like generating lobby/elevator music or 'generic greek background ambiance music' for a restaurant or something. Also the easy parts of the music market, same chords and beats with meaningless text sung on autotune are in its reach. It exists, people will make or save money with it, I don't think it is going away.

You’re probably right, unfortunately. I guess I’d just file it under things that nobody wants or needs. The whole scenario you just described is really sad, and I struggle to find the actual value in it.

Agreed. Tossing whole music niches to AI would be sad. "Generic restaurant Greek music" is... still music. Still traditional, historied, HUMAN singing and art. Just because you (original commenter) don't care doesn't mean no one else does. I want to hear humans sing. Not algorithms.
