Why Taylor Swift doesn't need to worry about AI

The quality of AI-generated music and art will continue to improve, but fans and collectors often find the artist's story more appealing than the work itself.

If Beyonce or Taylor Swift's songs were produced by software instead of a famous musician, would they be as popular? Because fans want more than just the music from Taylor Swift, she has over 227 million Instagram followers. A living, breathing human is necessary to provide this.

Oftentimes, when collectors purchase pieces from the visual arts world, they are buying into the story as much as they are the artist.

Although chess computers are better players than people and frequently more interesting, matches between machines generally garner less public interest than contests involving Magnus Carlsen.

"It's doubtful that he wrote any of it". AI and human creators will likely collaborate often, with the humans being presented as the face of the partnership to the public.

People will be most interested in AI-generated art when the look of it and the personality of its human companion seem to match.

If a human manages or trains a group of AI creators, will that be attractive to fans? Such concepts definitely have boundaries.

It's easy to picture an NBA with human coaches and powerful robots that are better at dunks and three-pointers than the best humans.
