If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it?

@larsman AI might not stop humans from creating art but it might prevent them from getting paid.  This is a thing in the music industry where companies are using the music libraries they own to train AI to write, produce and record songs in the style of human artists.  Rick Beato has done a couple of videos on the subject.  Not that he is an expert on AI but he has an interesting take on it.

@jastralfu - you are right; getting paid as an artist is bad enough as it is, and you wouldn't want a Milli Vanilli situation where the artists do not perform on the record. But ultimately I do not see an artistic problem as long as the recording is not misidentified as something it's not. 

Technology may not be the enemy, if considered within a vacuum.

However, it’s uses and impacts are all too often determined by aspects of human nature whose benefit to humanity as a whole is, in my view, questionable at best.Furthermore, we live in a culture where those who have the greatest capacity for leveraging technology for the sake of enhancing personal wealth and power enjoy an unhealthy level of influence when it comes to avoiding regulation and enjoying impunity from being held responsible for the destructive impacts their utilization of technology  incurs. Zuckerberg is a great example.

As a creative person, why would I want to help such individuals enrich themselves or aid them in replacing human artists with software?

No.  I would not listen to it.

Big Nope.
