Your point about music is a great analogy. Basically:

  1. People play music and people enjoy listening to music.
  2. Businessman inserts himself between the musician and the audience to “deliver the music”.
  3. Businessman charges listeners huge money to deliver music, gives no money to musicians.
  4. Businessman the decides to replace the musician with a robot (e.g. “AI”)
  5. Businessman explodes market. Listeners leave. Businessman gets bailout from government.

See I also think that there is something to be said about how there's people still out there making new music, performing it, recording. But business has captured the market and is drowning out the smaller players. The signal to noise ratio gets so skewed that even if the best song you never heard is only a web search away you may never listen to it because your streaming service will never play it. But the soulless corporate remix of a remix of a cover of a song from the 80s, you hear that 4 times a day because they have a marketing budget and algorithmic influence.

Ironically ew music has never been more accessible, but few people take advantage because of the noise we have to wade through.
