Should streaming platforms allow AI-generated songs?

Round 1

i think yes since the beats rythms and stuff AI can do is unmatchable by the human hand literally we cannot replicate what ai can do and that is why AI was created are we going to throw away gold because it was mined by the wrong hands? if its enjoyable and amazing to listen to, which was the reason songs are made, then why not?

I was scrolling through my discover playlist last week and hit a song that sounded technically perfect—great mix, catchy hook, zero soul. Turns out it was AI-generated, and it had thousands of streams. That's the problem in a nutshell. Streaming platforms already operate on razor-thin margins and brutal volume. Human artists fight for visibility against millions of tracks. Now you want to flood that ecosystem with infinite, zero-effort AI songs? That's not competition, it's dilution. Real musicians can't out-produce an algorithm that generates a thousand tracks before lunch. There's also a structural flaw in the argument I keep hearing: that AI is just another tool. A tool doesn't replace the person holding it. A synth doesn't write lyrics about heartbreak. If platforms actively host these songs alongside human work, they're signaling that music is just a product to be optimized, not an expression to be shared. Let AI make demo tracks in someone's bedroom. Fine. But putting them on equal footing with human artists on streaming platforms creates a race to the bottom nobody wins.
