All the while the mainstream radio friendly pop and rock acts seem to play the same circuits over and over every year, you can look at most big festival line-ups today and see most of the same acts from 20 years ago. There's a stagnation.

All this has me asking as both a small obscure indie musician and a music fan, do I even care anymore, I know what's coming, and it ultimately doesn't matter how many legal walls go up, AI generated theft art, music and in the near future while generated movies- its already too late.
Well it would be nice if humans making actual art were celebrated by other humans, that would be a start. If radio hosts and music writers went out and wrote about music or featured it without waiting for it to be submitted to them. If they could actually be bothered.
There gets to a point even as a music fan where it's overwhelming the sheer number of small artists that put their work out, and this is only going to get more and more hard for everyone as people with zero talent pay for AI to smush together stolen works and spew out 'new' tracks in seconds.
The work of true music fans and writers of the future will be to seek out actual new music and talent by actual humans, and spread that work around, to celebrate that, to investigate a little bit, and to see if the people that make art are nice people, if they are worthy of praise.
Otherwise the future is a landscape of drivel, works that echo other works, AI trained on its own output, but the original sources, always musicians and artists that never got paid.
And while the technology may be fun for a user, it will ultimately cause more isolation for real artists.
It's bad enough as it is with egotistical nuts, fame hungry morons, everyone trying to be noticed, and the majority of art that people put out is total wank. If you think otherwise, I'm sorry.
AI is sadly not going to go away.
People need to choose what they consume and who they wish to support.
