Don't most artists, except a few already wealthy ones like Paul, make basically nothing on record sales and streaming?

AI can't do live performances, yet.

    AI can pump out at least hundreds of song a day. They don't have to make much money per track when they can drown out everything else with sheer numbers.

    Live bands are capped by how much they have to give the venue and ticket master. It's getting to the point where real bands will need to pledge themselves to a wealthy sponsor to continue to make a living.

    I was watching the new David Attenborough show here in the UK Kingdom and I realised that all the orchestral work that is done to align with moments on screen will probably be AI soon. The tech is defo there already and it’s an easy way to cut budget. A shame.

    I have to admit I get frustrated of the wealthier artists who started their careers singing of revolution and peace, yet gatekeep entry to the business and don’t speak up against the stuff that’s happening in the world. They just sit in glass houses.
