I suppose it is if youve invested your whole life to being a musician. but I dont think its going away, but the money for it might. Just as money is not there for recorded music any more.

Think about how calculators changed lives. it used to mean something to be a great mathematician, you no longer need to be one. Only job left was teaching the formulas.

Now a robot can be created and be the teacher. no more easy substitute teacher job.

tax software destroyed the tax business professionals, they still exist, but not really needed unless you have alot of loopholes

you can soon buy robots to be your party guests. Your girlfriend. Your fans.

Robot Preachers, Robot police and firemen...i can imagine tha argument...why risk lives when a robot can do it.

robot weathermen, robot journalists, robot camera men.

Imagine being dumped or rejected by a robot? Sorry ...you're not my type.

do you come here often?

lol thats where i think humans cant be replaced. Were are individuals with unique tastes and pov that nobody exactly has, thats what songwriting is suppose to bring out.

will a robot REALLY have a sense of wow..."shes hot".... we can program them to say that, but does it or will it mean the same thing it does to us.

weird to think about.

There's a difference between technological advances to make life easier, and technology stealing art in order to cheapen it.

If anyone can push a button and make a song, then songs become worthless.

if society deems that acceptable, society gets what it deserves.

I'd prefer to relegate art to human artists, not machines, but that's just me.

I used software in the creation of music, but the music was ALL my idea, the software enabled me to make a demo that saved me a lot of money, that I would have never been able to afford and no demo would have ever been made, or much fewer demos anyway. Now, when it comes to the released product, all the tracks will be human.
