The fact that something is new and is better does not render other older products useless or unwanted.

I drive a 2023 car with satellite radio. I don't think people will likely send all the 1957 Chevys with AM push-button radios to the junkyard just because the new car is much better.

BIAB has many uses. There are hundreds of demo songs to play along with and learn new stuff.

Some people want instant gratification and do not want to put any effort into what they are entertaining themselves with. If AI can produce acceptable results for those people, they will use it. If corporate America can push a button and generate a marketable song, they will certainly do that.

AI will also become helpful to people who play music. AI will generate ideas that will give musicians something new to experiment with.

AI will take over some jobs currently done by humans. New technology frequently does that.

P G Music will continue to make improvements to its product in an attempt to continue to be profitable. They have no choice but to adapt to the current demands. Their bottom line will dictate what comes next. Those companies that have the ability to adapt will survive. Those who can not adapt will not survive.

Just because AI may be able to generate guitar tracks does not entice me to stop playing guitar. AI may be able to generate guitar sounds, but it can not play anything at this point.

Relax; the world is unlikely to come to an end this week.
