“t will become like Classical Music. People will still listen to it, but nobody will be interested in new stuff.”

Interesting observation. I think Classical Music can’t be done today because the centuries ago composers were more isolated, couldn’t listen to recordings, and thus were able to make music that was more a result of their individual creativity rather than what they heard from others. Those conditions are hard to come by today.

Back then if you wanted to hear music, someone had to play it for you, or you played it yourself.

Also, once upon a time composers sought to make music that was “beautiful”. That’s what their audiences wanted to hear. Ain’t that way any more.

Maybe music isn’t infinite. Maybe all of the good stuff has already been done.

And with AI, now anyone can make their own music, by just typing in a description of what they want to hear.
