I agree, but live performance in the age of recording is already a luxury good, and it is unlikely an AI would replace live performance any more than a player piano or CD player would (or has.)

I can't see how in a world full of recordings how in person, live performance art could get anything but vastly more valuable.

I saw a stage performance of Clue a few weeks ago. It was lovely. Nothing was AI generated, and couldn't be, because it was people physically making art live. How nice.

I will continue to pay for those experiences and to prioritize them over recorded ones.

No doubt it'll be more valuable but the number of opportunities (to watch and play at those) will decrease globally.
