I agree with this so much that I’d take off the comment about AGI: I think that even if/when AGI lands there will always be audiences that seek raw, organic, and honest artistic expression from other humans.
Black metal community, for example, has always rejected all forms of "automation" and considers it not kvlt - rawness is a sought-after quality, defined as having people performing as close to the recording equipment as possible.
There's also a rapper named Bones (Elmo O'Connor) who's never signed a contract with a label, does only music he wants to do, releases a couple albums every year. There's something about his approach that makes his music sound very organic and honest. I listen to him more than I listen to any mass produced rapper.
So in conclusion, music was always about people. Unless AI reaches AGI level, I don't think it will ever impact music enough to kill all audience.
