Here's the thing: if we let AI-generated songs flood streaming platforms, the first thing that happens is the music library becomes a landfill. Thousands of tracks generated in a day, most of them formulaic and forgettable, will bury the work of actual musicians. Think about how bots took over social media—streaming would become that, but for your ears. And it's not just about quality. It's about fairness. A human artist spends years writing, practicing, and recording. An AI can mimic their style in minutes. Putting those songs side-by-side on the same platform isn't a level playing field; it's a rigged one. From a deontological angle, we have a duty to respect human effort and creativity, not drown it out. Maybe AI could be a tool for artists, but as a product for listeners? That's a step too far. Don't we want to hear someone's actual soul in the music?
