As with text, the current form of AI (generative AI) will be very good at creating music that sounds good, not good music.
Ok fair, but most of the work of music creation is in making it sound good. I suspect the right combination of generative AI plus a little human guidance at the conceptual level should result in music that is good, with minimal effort. And to think I wasted all those years improving my piano ;-)
I agree, but one lesson I've learned from fifty years of music obsession is that people mostly don't like good music.

You're missing the appeal of self-expression entirely.
"Why learn to play an instrument when you can just buy a CD?"
Kinda cheating to play an instrument you didn't make yourself. I think you're missing the appeal of self expression... /s
Of course people will still keep creating, and I'm sure there will be an 'organic' no-AI movement, but the exciting music tech of the next 10 years is going to be in that space in between the two...
