Is giving a machine a megaphone really the best use of a platform built for human expression? I get the appeal of AI-generated songs—they're cheap, endless, and sometimes catchy. But that's exactly the problem. Streaming platforms are finite spaces with finite attention. If you fill them with infinite AI tracks, you drown out the human artists who actually need that revenue to survive. It's not about gatekeeping; it's about basic economics. A person spends years crafting an album, and an algorithm can spit out a thousand songs in a day. That's not competition, that's flooding the market. And let's be honest about the copyright mess: these models are trained on existing human work without consent. So you're profiting off artists while simultaneously replacing them. If you want innovation, fine—but don't let it happen at the expense of the people who actually make music.
