I agree that people who refuse to listen to AI music or create AI music will still continue on the same path as before in terms of the evolution of music.

But AI music can make it even harder for people to eke out a living as musicians, since they are competing with something that costs far less to make. And some people who would otherwise learn how to create music themselves will instead choose not to learn this skill because it is easier to use AI.

The net effect is a diminished culture.
