I get the appeal of AI music—it's cheap, endless, and can spark new ideas. But that's exactly why streaming platforms shouldn't just let it flood in. The core problem is drowning: real artists already struggle to get heard, and an infinite supply of algorithm-generated tracks makes it nearly impossible for human work to surface. Platforms aren't neutral hosts here; they're curators with a responsibility to listeners and creators. If we treat AI songs like human songs, we devalue the craft, the labor, and the culture that makes music meaningful. It's not about banning tech—it's about protecting the space where human expression can actually compete.
