The question is two fold so my answer will be as well. First off as to whether AI generated songs are real music of course they are. By definition music is the art of arranging sounds in time through elements like melody, rhythm, harmony, and tone color to express emotions and ideas. How that arrangement is achieved or the ideas conveyed doesn't change the fact that the content generated fits the definition perfectly. As for the second part does it belong in streaming platforms? I believe yes but only if the platform is actively making people aware of the fact AI has been used and the customers of said platform are aware that's what they're buying/listening to. Some people can't make music but have great song ideas. How they achieve the song doesn't make there music less valid. It just makes them less talented.

While I agree with my opponent that ai music often feels empty and fake. Unfortunately for them our opinion doesn't change the fact that music, wether written by a man or an ai, is music and it f alls well within the definition. Also human musicians, which I've written music nearly 20 years, have been following certain patterns for years. Why can't ai do the same?

Many streaming platforms have moved to combat the flood of ai generated music by featuring channels that play nothing but human made content. There are meant ways that this is an be combatted against. But people still have the right to hear ai content if that's what they desire
