Doesn't letting AI songs onto streaming platforms create a nasty feedback loop where human artists get squeezed out before they even have a chance?
I get the appeal of more music and lower costs, but think about the cause and effect. Platforms already pay pennies per stream. If you let AI flood the system with infinite content, human artists get buried. The algorithm favors volume and consistency—things AI does easily. That means fewer real musicians can earn a living, so they stop creating. And what's left? A homogenized, emotionless catalog where every song sounds like a statistical average of everything before it. The unintended consequence isn't just a few lost jobs—it's the slow death of musical culture itself. We're trading genuine human expression for cheap, endless filler. That's not progress.
