Performers haven’t just felt threatened by mechanized sound - recordings have replace live music in the majority of venues across the country since the 80s. Numbers of performances and attendees have plummeted in the last two decades. AI is clearly being used to generate so much text and sound, at the expense of our environment and creativity. I don’t see how you can take the position that our current structures for musicians, which are demonstrably failing, will simply continue to exist in an economy that is already sacrificing human-held jobs to AI, even before it’s proven to be reliable. I will resist this theft-driven, environment-wrecking thing with all of my might.
