The problem with that theory is that robots will get cheaper and smarter, they also don’t have to be paid, eat, (Apart from a bit of electric) will do exactly what their owners want, will be able to play anything, can be made to look like anything the owner wants and also doesn’t argue or have off days, (Not forgetting a break is also not required) and will pay for itself. (Whereas the owner will always be paying for a musician, and yet still won’t end up owning him)

Your buggy whip analogy is a good one, just be careful you don’t fall into the same trap. (I am sure the buggy whip manufacture also said the buggy whip will never be replaced)
