If you are any better than the current AI slop then yes. If you are only slightly better than the current slop then you are not good enough.
Goes for everyone. If you are just as good as a current LLM, be better.
[A few anecdotes from the writer who is at a SF hacker house]
„All professional creatives, Fay and I were told cheerfully, would soon exist only as hobbyists. This was not provocation. Not irony. Just fact. It’s the one moment in the documentary when we hear Fay’s voice. She suddenly cuts in, unsettled: “So AI’s going to get rid of my job?” It’s brief. Instinctive. But it changes the air in the room.
When I spoke to Fay recently, she remembered the moment clearly. “We moved so quickly,” she said, “from talking about how AI could help the creative industries to hearing, quite casually, how easily it could replace every role within them. The tone was friendly, encouraging, as if I should be excited.”
That exchange feels like the hinge of the story: a small, human moment of bafflement, when the conversation stopped being theoretical and became real.
They wanted to make us redundant.
I don’t want to ignore AI. But that phrase I used earlier, “the cat’s out of the bag”, now feels like its own kind of moral laziness, as if ethics expire the moment something new arrives.“
100% no, and never will be. AI is only trained on what has already been created, it shows no ability for creative invention. When someone types into AI requesting art – the prompt is the creativity. AI will never create a new genre of music, or discover a novel brush stroke, people will. Whether we put it to media, or to AI, to realize, is really on us.
So far all the “AI” music I’ve heard has been really mid at best.
There are still lots of musicians that are average too.
When “AI” produces a groundbreaking track let me know.
(It never will bc it just amalgamates existing work)

I don’t buy heavily customized items. My clothing is not tailored. My furniture was not hand-produced by an individual carpenter.
My car is assembled mostly by robots these days. No human is doing the wielding.
A huge amount of music training literally is consuming and synthesizing existing classical music. AIs already are great at consuming what already exists and then producing a good, then better synthesis of that product.
And remember it doesn’t have to be great – all it has to be is better than what the average human composer creates.
AI music will replace human-created music in places where that music more or less doesn’t matter very much. Like low-budget commercials, radio, TV production… if you “have to have” some background music but don’t want to pay for great original music, grabbing AI music will be a cost- and time-saver.
I have to think most of that has *already* been more or less relegated to that royalty-free music library stuff. If generating music for *those* libraries is your business… yeah, you’re cooked.
People continue to attend plays and concerts, even though home theater and digital music exist, because of the human connection, social aspect, as well as the unpredictability of live vs polished productions. There’s no reason to think AI will replace that.
As with many other industries, if you’re at the top of your field, innovating and creating, we still need you. If you’re grinding at the mid-bottom levels of quality and creativity, while thats never been a *great* place to be, it’s about to be gone entirely.
Well good. With more people proletarianized there won’t be so much resistance to global communism. I’m tried of the 10-20% of the population that is ok not caring about the living standards of the vast majority. Now THEY can see what it is like.
Pull them bootstraps!
