Bandskool has always represented the human element for what it's worth: human players interacting: making music together with what are considered to be 'real' instruments. I think there are lots of reasons why that is a good thing - as opposed to where technology is taking us: to a world where humans are increasingly being made redundant or made to feel redundant. And isolated. It is happening in the musical world too. Indeed, it has been happening for many decades: bit by bit.
Call it what you like, but I call it a race to the bottom in all respects. The race to the bottom always ends up in an unfortunate place; just the same as a world that is led by the wrong things: short term gain and greed. But that's another story!
Take the humble or not so humble DJ: from a simple wedding to a globe trotting megalomaniac with a scorched earth mantra: they did their bit to undermine the human element: real players, real bands and ensembles. And why? Just because they never learned to play an instrument and saw an opportunity. The technology made it possible; and before long, a whole culture sprung up but for all the wrong reasons. Ok, so I have just offered a precis of the last eight decades of popular music and culture. You may disagree. I don't mind being 'out of touch' - what's the point of being in touch? I'm just trying to explain who the winners and losers are in the world of popular/mainstream culture.
Anyway, the DJ is going to be replaced too - AI is here and it will only get worse. I find it completely ironic that there are DJ's out there saying that the great unwashed will still want the human element, so their jobs won't be under fire. Ironic? You bet!
