Maybe I’m being overy pessimistic, but I worry a little that the more that making art & music gets automated, the less that people will bother to study and create traditional art even for their own pleasure and fulfillment, let alone to make a living. It’s like taking an arduous hike up to a mountain peak that has a convenient road going all the way to the top. Some people will still do it anyway, but it feels a little less special and worthwhile somehow. Folks becoming over-reliant on machines to do their imagining for them is definitely more than just an economic and employment issue.
