> In the case of artistic expression becoming more accessible to more people
The problem is that folks seem to be confused between artistic expression and actually good art. Let alone companies like Spotify cynically creating “art” so that they can take even more of the pie away from the actual artists.
Well putting aside the simple question of "who are you to say what is 'good' art"... are they really? GP says

Who knows, maybe one day I’ll hit a goldmine idea and commit some real money to it and get a real artist to help!
So apparently they recognize what's going on. In the same vein as me being able to enjoy silly crude animations on YouTube while also enjoying high-quality animations like Studio Ghibli; we can do both.
As for how companies will use AI to enrich themselves whenever possible; absolutely agree, but that's a separate discussion.
