We are already using DAW and VSTIs for recording. So if it is not a complex classical music piece there is no need for musicians. I'm not even mentioning workstation and digital synthesizer era.
There are already acoustic pianos that can play itself! We may see self playing instruments more in the future. If they sync them together; maybe one day we don't need live musicians.
Suno AI is not good enough to replace DAW and DAW user. So many things are missing. No effects, you can't use your own melody and so on. AI supported DAW may help so much for music creation. It may also reduce the cost and we may finally hear good quality music again, who knows?
When it comes to singers though; I think it is impossible to replace. Because if all you care is the song itself, then play it through speakers. You don't need to go to concert. Imitating is not the only problem. You can't emotionally connect to AI that much. When you become a fan of a singer, you start following him/her on social media, you may even talk with them if you have luck. You may also follow their overall life and thoughts. What about AI? It is just a software, no human being.
Also about the creativity, AI may not be able to think and come up with some new creative ability when it comes to music as it will only produce what it knows, where as a musicians creativity is spontaneous you'd never know what clicks in your mind all of a sudden and becomes something that is loved by the world.
