Will AI replace musicians (and the other jobs that are important to humanity, but devalued with AI)?

 I only know about AI recently. Much earlier, there was only a vague talk about AI and I utilized some primitive chatbots, that were fun and entertaining, although they didn't think like a human.
I used a couple of Polish-made chatbots like this, named "Snikers" (and it's vulgar version - "Bluzgers") and Merlin. I admittedly was starstruck by this technology and I would never dream about it getting more progressively advanced!
Later came Cleverbot, which somewhat thought like a human and I was able to have proper conversations with it. And all of sudden, before the awful COVID lockdowns, deep fakes came. Fraudsters make with it a lot of fake videos depicting mostly women (sometimes men) in very compromising positions, which they have never done, but people started believing in this disinformation, alas. I only could hope there won't be the next Taliban for women, because I'm waiting for the proper tools for detecting deep fakes, like they created tools for detecting computer viruses. Alas with the abrahamic religions and other religions, vilifying women, it's almost not possible and I will probably remain severaly disheartened about it.
And then, Chat GPT absolutely revolutionized the way we think about AI. Chat GPT writes our homework, our lyrics, our video game code etc. And people have been never happier before, because they can be as lazy as ever.
I talked to Chat GPT and it managed to be pleasant and courteous to me, but sometimes there were instances, when Chat GPT blatantly didn't accept the narrative different from some kind of a political agenda, which is popular these days.
And then came the AI art and later, AI music! As a musician (the multi-instrumentalist), I was amazed by the fact how AI music sounds like legitimate music and I started worrying, if AI music won't replace me. Because take a look: the music industry is extremely gatekeepish, from my observation and they very often say to me "you can't make your own new music, because it's gonna be a copy of someone else's music, if you try making it, we're gonna sue you for big money, do you know what we mean?" I don't know, what do they mean with all of this. Music only has 12 tones, at least in the West, as the non-Western, microtonal or avant-garde music is either not popular or not accepted and people who make such music are very often called "talentless". I believe that if AI is about to replace us musicians who are human, copyright ought to be abolished and considered the thing of the past, to be honest. Copyright is a tool for screwing over all the smaller musicians that want to express themselves, musically. I also count as one of those musicians.
I have a right to express myself, musically, regardless of my social status, my political views, my mental health (nah, I'm just a bit disheartened with this cruel world, I might come across as mentally ill, but it's not much true), my biological sex, my country of origin, my sexual orientation or lack of thereof etc.
And nobody can take away from me this right. I might not have any connection with music industry (unless you count the fact I used to talk to or kvetch to Rush's [the Canadian famous band's] crew about the lack of Rush's concert in Poland), but I'm a valid musician, because when I talked to many people connected with the music community, many of them told me that I'm exceptionally talented and I'm taking their words for granted. My fellow Polish people, especially men, sometimes women, talk ill about me, perhaps, because of intergenerational trauma and sadly because of the pervasive Polish mentality, which holds many talented people down and this is all about the "don't make yourself visible and better than others" and plain jealousy. In Scandinavia there is something like "Jante's law", which also reflects a lot the Polish mentality. And Poles are ones who say "without nasty connections and fraud, you won't get anywhere". Maybe because of that, I'm starting to understand detractors of Poland, except that Geddy Lee painted the whole Polish community with one brush and to this I cannot agree. I wanted to see Rush in Poland, and despite my criticisms towards Poland, Poles are some of the most dedicated fans of foreign rock bands and would get easily influenced by them, musically (yes, even by Rush!).
So again, to answer your question, politicians should make the life for people more affordable and both left and right should cooperate in this, instead of promoting the depopulation, malthusianistic, transhumanistic, anti-female agenda, they always promote. And this is my conclusion.
