The music is still written and performed by musicians. 
Next to that is, movies were already a 'replacement' of live theater (which still employs live orchestras btw)
But most important is that it was a practical solution to scale up movie showings.
(How much would a movie ticket cost with a full orchestra playing, voice actors and sound effect artists in the box)

That's how theater owners were defending themselves 95 years ago. You monster.

But the point I was making is a different one - technophobic appeals tend to have little impact on the zeitgeist, especially when there are massive economic incentives toward the adoption of a new technology. I have little doubt human-made art will find fertile ground, especially appealing to us boomers. But the younger generations, who have grown up in a world where machine learning can automate any and every form of media? I doubt it.

By the way, I wouldn't be surprised if the basis for biological creativity is shallower in layers and algorithmically much simpler than something like Stable Diffusion. Us fleshy bags have to contend with the evolutionarily likely and these lossy, noisy neurons, after all. No risk of overfitting whatsoever unless we deliberately are out to plagiarize something...
