No. It is VERY HARD to see how this could go wrong.
You might want to look at your example again.
Your example is music writers can "compose and create music recordings (and put on YouTube) even though he cannot play any of the instruments", but what if youtubers can now click one button and the computer can compose and create music recordings even though he cannot play any instruments at all?
See what I did there? This is what we are doing with machine learning (the media calls them AI).
Imagine one day, no one will ever create/upload a video for youtube, instead the youtubers simply click one button to generate a video. So "solo movie creators", "writers" would no long exist, just algorithms and meat potatoes left.
That, the concept of taking out everyone and it's effect, is very wrong, at least for the existing system. Unfortunately, it is already happening. But real assure, regular robots and simple computer generators will take over before any real AI is completed.
Whether it's "good for humanity" however is a different question, as you could still prove that it is good for humanity even when it is wrong.
