Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is forecasted to have more of an impact on some occupations and industries than others.We examine the impact that AI will have on musicians and singers.This analysis provides an interesting example as musicians typically engage in physical activities when playing, performing, and use creativity when writing songs.We contribute to the existing literature by linking AI to both an occupational analysis and delving into the emotional aspects AI might not be able to provide for musicians.We explore the pros and cons of using AI for the creation of AI generated music.Further, this paper explores music creation to focus on production and performance.Additional consideration is provided regarding the legal and ethical considerations of AI for musicians.
