First, let's define what we're actually debating. AI-generated means the algorithm writes and performs the track, with no human author in the creative driver's seat. Streaming platforms exist to distribute human creativity, so the question is whether to let non-human content into a human marketplace. Now here's the stat that should scare everyone: Spotify already sees over 100,000 tracks uploaded every single day. Imagine flooding that river with unlimited, free-to-generate AI songs. Listener attention is fixed. The royalty pool is fixed. Every AI track is a direct cannibalization of a struggling musician's income. I genuinely get the appeal of AI-assisted tools—I'm not against technology. But fully AI-generated songs don't need a home on streaming; they need regulation. If we don't draw the line now, these platforms become graveyards of infinite, soulless content where real artists can't compete for pennies. The novelty isn't worth the damage.
