You make a good point. And we are definitely headed in this direction. Everything will be virtual, especially in music, including the composers. But I think there will be a reaction against this and human input to the virtual devices will become increasingly valued (for a decade or so).
But let's be brave and face the facts: people will ultimately prefer musical composition and production done by computers because it's going to be way more innovative than what humans can come up with. Check out this article and scroll down a little to hear recording of computer compositions that are quite evocative:

It's just getting started, but it's going to be really big.
