Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are embedding itself in all different aspects of life and music has not been immune to the attempts. There has been many attempts to create music artificially (note that this is different from Digital Music); maybe it's important to note the difference:
1) Digital Music is still created by a human being, but instead of spending years studying music and an instrument you rely on a digital database that can produce the sounds for you, so at the end of the day there is a person behind the creation that choses how to mix the music together
2) AI music however can produce music from A-Z independently, the more music you have fed the machine the more it's able to create something out of thin air. Most interesting examples I have come across is an attempt to finish a symphony by a famous composer who died before completing it and most recently the COVID-19 piece which you can find on Sondcloud.
I see here the risk of loosing creativity which it is an important aspect of evolution and survival for humans.

If you see the numbers in China of AI 'presenters, artist, singers' are scaring
Scary is a very interesting word here Costa, why does this scare you? What do you think we will lose as an offset of this advancement?
I see here the risk of loosing creativity which it is an important aspect of evolution and survival for humans.
couldn't agree with you more Costa, the benefits of learning music is endless and expands to motor skills, a sense of rhythm, discipline and as you have rightfully stated an evolution of the soul and the collective humanity. True we still experience digital and now AI music, but this is at a more distant and superficial level in my opinion.

I hope that we are far from a medieval technological period. Far from, 'you were not eligible for an education loan because the AI algorithm told us so.' To have the ability to assess, we need to be creative. If we lose creativeness, we are going to lose control in favor of comfortable brain laziness.
