That's literally the only reason why I like making music. It's not like I do it just for the money because Spotify pays me jack shit anyway. Yet I still make music because I like making music. Even though half the time I make electronic music these days I still use real instruments for samples when I need to. In my opinion playing and making music is one of the most human things about humanity. There's a reason concerts have been something people want to see for a thousand years and still want to see to this day. Like, imagine going to a concert with AI generated music and no actual musician behind the scenes. What would even be the fucking point of getting tickets?

I don't need a tech bro telling me that nobody likes playing instruments when making music has been a part of humanity since the dawn of humanity.
