So, the bet is that the human race is going to prefer music composed by AI? Yea, right. "Roll over, Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news."

Even if machines are composing, the music still needs to be published. Publishers are 50% of PROs. Things are changing but they aren't going away anytime soon.

I am, in fact, an AI device. Sometimes more artificial than usual. I like those times and feel for my AI brethren who will never know the joy that a human gets from creation. That can never be replaced nor interjected into the purely clinical output any machine can produce. As my dad would say: eff'em!
