I initially thought your prediction was "AI-generated, with mostly human vocals and some editing" - which has no way of occurring in 2 years even for new songs, let alone if you include the legacy catalog.

This insane interpretation will not only not occur in 2 years, it will not occur this decade. Singularitarian delusion runs higher than even I imagined.

Again, I'm pretty sure 2 years ago many people would had said similar things about image generation. And yet here we are today using Stable Diffusion.

It's interesting you react so strongly to my prediction. Are you a musician? How much do you know about music generation research?

First, your prediction is analogous to something like "in 2 years, 50% of images used in {ad platform}/getty, will be AI-generated". Your prediction is actually "AI-generated without human editing". This is not true today and will not be true in 2 years from now even for images.

I am not a musician, have no musical (or any other art, actually) talent and have kept up (shallowly) with state-of-the-art music generation for a decade (because of idiocy kurzweil has spewed out).

I am "reacting strongly" because I detest singularitarians and everything they stand for. This board in particular has been a hotbed of delusion and idiocy for the last 6 months in every single AI thread I have read comments in.
