I think there will always be a market and an interest in human beings playing music.

Sure AI may one day get so good that it's just as good as the music we've created already,(nowhere near it yet) but that is not the lure of music anyway.

Music is about people, people communicating with other people.

Taylor Swift got famous because of her connection with young girls, they related to her. They wont relate to software, they might listen to something made by software.

But singing and playing instruments is not going anywhere. People are still learning how to play violins and cellos, and AI has practically mastered those instruments. And drums, drums have been simulated and mastered since the late 70's, but people are still buying drum kits and playing them, and bands are still forming with real drummers playing in them. It's about people.

For example, we could have a software showing a guy climbing mt everest, but there would still be an interest in an other human who is doing it.

We have simulated sports, which are very popular and people gamble on them, but there are still real people playing sports. it's still fascinating to other people.

Writing music from your own unique perspective based on your history and understanding of the world, is still interesting to other people.

I have no clue what music will sound like a thousand years from now, but I think it will always be interesting to watch somebody play an instrument, and hear what they create.
