The prospect of AI music taking over the world has been met with almost universal fear and anger amongst musicians and for good reason. But will AI really kill the music industry?

Don't get me wrong, there is plenty to be concerned about and lots of risk, but its not in my view, the musical armageddon that some commentators fear.
