AI will replace music artists in the next 10 years anyway so they're fucked no matter what.

Maybe for the kind of R&B/Pop chart shit, I’d argue that Korea and producers like Simon Cowell have proven that treating music like an algorithm is profitable, but I think people will still be paying to see live music with actual instrumentalists and singers not just lip syncing “singers”.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see virtual AI avatar anime-styled singers become common, but completely within their own genre especially for the weebs of the future.

But that proves even the R+B/Pop chart stuff will be safe- Korea/Cowell treating music as an algorithm, when combined with TikTok's rise has also cracked the code about popular music to make it AI-proof: People don't care about music, they want to see some pretty people dancing to a beat.

AI may be able to make music like R+B/Pop chart shit, but you need real people dancing to it to make people happy.

Idk that Japanese hologram concert shit draws crowds.

The tech is kinda cool. But I don't get the appeal apart from the novelty of the effect.

Of course, but Japanese hologram stuff requires you to already be a weeb into this stuff.

On the mainstream aspect, the pop music aspect, it's really "whatever they're singing or the music doesn't really matter- as long as the person dancing to it is hot, young people will flock to it"...which, by the opposite, means "a music form made by AI/holograms, which has no hot heartthrob attached to it, will not have major crossover success."

Seems fair. My concert tastes are a lot more, pretentious than what kids tend to be into. Verdi is good. Tchaikovsky is also good. Unfortunately both are dead.

Maybe Holograms can recreate the experience.

We already have actual Vocaloid concerts. This one is from a decade ago.
