Imagine a commuter opening a discover playlist and hearing thirty polished tracks, none written by a person who ever sat in a room with an instrument. The platform counts those plays, splits royalties, and the actual songwriter three slots down gets less. That's the core problem: streaming attention and payout pools are finite. AI can generate infinite passable songs, and the flood doesn't just add choice, it buries human work and makes curation meaningless. The other side calls this democratization, but unlimited indistinguishable supply isn't democratic, it's noise. Until platforms clearly label and limit it, AI songs don't belong.
