Artificial Intelligence Is Ruining Music

Scott Cohen, co-founder of the large digital distribution company The Orchard, recently said that "there will be a number one song that's 100% AI-written." Which is a scary thought, not only because it will displace millions of people from work, but because it removes the creativity and humanism from music. It's not unthinkable that decades from now much of the music that we listen to will be created using advanced software that figures out the optimum beats and lyrics for record sales. Is that a world that we want to live in? Technology is great, it's awesome, and it's saving lives at a rapid pace, but to create music with it is a completely different situation.
