Thoughts from the demented mind of one recovering form the flu. 
Making music has been in a constant state of change..... well..... since music was invented. Beginning with vocal only. Then instruments were invented. And evolution followed. Styles and genres have changed. Methods have changed and presenting said music have changed. And will continoue to evolve. So buckle up buttercut.....
A few things comes to mind. (and please don't misconsture this disseration as one of good vs evil. Just houghts I've had rolling around in the gray matter since this thread started.)
Unless you're more than 90, you can't remember the first time someone put a pickup on a guitar and plugged it into an amp. (It was in the 1930s) Betting the music stalwarts were going nuts over that one.
Fast forward many decades and we find the movement for creating songs and music where no instruments are required.... or frankly, knowledge of music. Technerd kids that didn't know an "A" from a "B"..... but knew computers. Knew programming. Figured out they could purchase Apps and program a song. And they got good at it. Today the majority of the population can't tell the difference between music programmed on a computer and one where the musicians played instruments and sang in a studio.
In response to the OP. As to making music. "Will robots replace humans anytime soon?" No. "Will robots replace humans anytime in the future?"
Mostly no. But I feel with AI we will eventually see robots making music commercially. Think places like Disney. Epcot. Etc. But a Robot concert at Redrocks in Colorado. No.
Whatcha have to remember. Whether a kid sitting at a computer using an app or a robot playing a guitar on stage, bottom line is.... it's lines of code. The human emotion and experience will always matter. Violins and cellos have been around for centuries, as have orchestras and the people that play those instruments. That won't change.
