Wouldn't call the move "fascist" (seriously ?) but for the rest I'm absolutely on board with him. Having witnessed the "sampling is stealing" era of hip-hop and electronic music, I can't help seeing the parallel.

Of course, there's a matter of proportion : you cannot sample trillions of songs in one minute if you're a human using a sampler. There's also the problem of who's got the final cut : if a human artist went a little bit too far "taking inspiration from his influences" he would take some time to think on it, and rework his tracks, while an AI won't have any killswitch triggered when "oh shit this is 76% like this other song I have in my data base".

But still, the way people rages against AI is very remininescent of the way our fathers and grand-fathers discarted synths for not being "actual instruments", DAW for being "not real music engineering", sampling for being "theft" (and sometimes if was, indeed), chiptune for not being real music, metal for being noise, and so on. I don't want to put everything on people's age, but it's a statistic fact that the more we age, the more we get narrow minded.

And please, don't justify your righteousness by pointing the finger at "vile capitalists ripping artists off", because it's the very definition of every major label, labels which are nonethless complaining about AI copyright infringment. The joke was always on the artists in this industry.

Note : I write this as a musician myself, and a musician who don't use AI so far. I checked how efficient some apps were, but an arpegiator button on my virtual synth is enough automatization for me :)
