> I wonder if "The Orchestra that draws no salary" was as controversial at the time as "Artisans won't complain about work-life balance" is today.
I'm not sure about controversy, but I do think they will look similarly silly in retrospect.
Early vendors of new technology tend to over-promise and under-deliver. They sort of have to, as they are creating a new market. People need to be moved in order to be convinced they need it.
The technology (if there is real merit to it) usually evolves over time based on who pays for it, which helps separate the actual uses from imagined ones.
I do not think today's AI will replace everything, it's unclear where it will be used and where it wont. Just keep doing what you are doing. The salesmen are just doing their thing.
As for whether musicians specifically will be impacted, sure, some will. Good musicians, the ones who channel and share their feelings with listeners will always (well, until AI has something resembling real emotion) have work. Today's AI does not have emotion, and I expect people will know the difference. I'm sure the music industry will go wild trying, but people will always create music for themselves, and real emotion will resonate far further than 'art' created via a prompt.
