Pretty much.
Only difference now is that it affects him. Technology wasn't a problem when his Akai MPC saved him the labor costs of hiring a studio drummer or trumpist to compose music.

Anybody who says the music these things generate isn't good, well there have been multiple producers who have said otherwise and are scared of it.
At the end of the day:
What it basically now comes down to is making money from music is going to be harder than ever because everyone will be pushing shyt out easy af and anything that sounds new will be reverse engineered by A.I. and the market will be flooded by that same sound within that week.
It's going to basically be make music because you enjoy making music and what you love hearing, not because you're trying to make money or clout from it.

I don’t argue with niqqas on the Internet anymore
Gonna have to start actually going to shows and festivals to get close to real shyt. Might have to start grading on organic content now.
I know that a computer can do crazy shyt, the point is to see a human do it and then try to do it yourself

I think this is the best argument to it:
Everyone can basically be Rick Rubin now with their own personal musical team making the music.
it's still music making no doubt, but he is right in the sense that there are far less skills needed.
So the average person should feel sorry for these rich nikkaz?
No; but as fans we should feel bad cause we're the consumer.
I love music.
I have 0 interest in consuming AI music.
If this is the future I'm listening to only old shyt and will pay to see real LIVE acts.
KISS just sold the rights to have hologram concerts. people will actually pay 2 see that. I can't get jiggy with that.
They already have AI OF/IG hoes and people are paying to look at robots.
its matrix/total recall shyt manifesting.

At the end of the day though, if you have real musically talent you'll be able to use this tech to make doper shyt than most other people.
If you know your stuff you'll go so much further than the people that don't, no matter how much this tech closes the gap.
Someone can still take the output of this stuff, go into a DAW and style it up if they know what they're doing.
It's like sample flipping.

With all due respect to JD. Labels don't give a fukk about musicians either. So, JD, stfu and play some drums 
you're being short sighted.
this actually will give a HUGE edge to the people who don't have talent.
this will only take $$$ out of the talented's pockets.

No more than what DAWs did.
It's only so many places at the very top. The cream always rises.
There's always a very top. That's how it works.
I'd argue there's a lot of "unskilled" trash right now anyways.
The cream always rises? How in tune with music/the industry are you actually type that.
Ice Spice is literally the most dominant woman in hip-hop right now.
She was in a superbowl commercial.

Depends on the use of ai.. you can’t just say all ai is bad.. because it isn’t. This use of ai should be illegal.

Actually very in-tune with the music industry and the producer community.
You had Junior High kids getting NBA Youngboy placements and plaques giving rights to their beats for a pair of Jordans.
I know someone who got two placements with Future and the Weekend who walked away with a grand total of $80k after working with two of the biggest hip-hop artists/pop/R&B artists of the last 10 years. These cats know people artists are getting dope-sounding beats thrown at them from every direction. At that point dude knew take it or leave it even though it's two once-in-a-lifetime type of placements for anybody.
Look at how much people are charging for dope beats on Beatstars and how many beats there are. Producers are selling packs of 100's of beats for $15.
shyt been watered down. A.I ain't changing anything worse than what it is right now
Do you know how much new music is released per day and uploaded, last year, before A.I? This was from two years ago:
Music Streaming Hits Major Milestone as 100,000 Songs are Uploaded Daily to Spotify and Other DSPs
According to the CEOs of both Universal Music and Warner Music, DSPs are now adding an average of about 100,000 new songs to their libraries every day.
variety.com
Regardless of that, there's still a Metro Boomin who is considered a hitmaker and sought after producer. The cream still rises and there are still well-known producers through small communities like Discords getting placements and who artists know by name.
Yeah, A.I will turn the dial on how much new music is released. But a shytload of music is already released per day anyways. The combination of Spotify/Soundcloud and DAWs and beatmaker subreddits probably are similar in scale to A.I's impact.

People keep saying this, but I don't think it's true. AI art can't be copyrighted, therefore it can't be effectively monetized.
Touring is where the money is, and you won't fill a stadium for some dude pressing a button on an iPod without some massive show to go along with it.
