They may have successfully done it to some degree, but it has never to the fullest extent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Machines, though far more precise and productive, still need human guidance and management to complete their tasks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It just proves how automation has failed to disrupt the systems of these other industries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take on ATMs (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/a\/atm.asp\">Automated Teller Machine<\/a>) as an example. The Banking Industry, before ATMs, has been swamped with people lining up in front of human bank tellers as they withdraw, deposit, and inquire for their balances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the ATM\u2019s assimilation they have replaced most of the bank tellers that signaled how machines might be replacing humans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Instead of it being a bad thing, it has actually become a way to improve the industry. It allowed them to redistribute their employees to other tasks that needed improvement resulting in their boost in productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>_________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-ai-jobs-are-yet-to-be-automated\"><\/span><b>#2.

So, tasks are different things you have to do. Jobs, on the other hand, are a group of tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surely not every task assigned for your job is something you really want to do by yourself. Moreover, there will surely be tasks that are harder to do but must be done quickly. With machines, AIso and other tools, you get to not do them or finish them more quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AIs can be your task buddy to help you fulfill some of your tasks. There\u2019s no need to worry about them replacing musicians or anything like that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>_________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-ai-has-limitations-in-music-creation\"><\/span><b>#3.

Sure, they get inspiration from other musicians but most of them will surely not come up with tracks that sound just like their inspiration because that would be just plagiarism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, AIs cannot experiment or learn the way humans do so they will surely be using data from other musicians to create music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>_________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-humans-will-never-be-left-out-in-the-creative-process\"><\/span><b>#4.
