Look, the most practical consequence of letting AI songs flood streaming platforms is that actual musicians get buried alive. We're already living in a world where the average artist makes almost nothing per stream. Now imagine a platform that's suddenly populated by thousands of AI tracks generated in minutes, with no royalty obligations, no human costs. The algorithm doesn't care who made the song — it just optimizes for engagement. So AI slop gets promoted, real artists sink further into obscurity, and the economic incentives for making music collapse entirely.
That's the feedback loop nobody's talking about. When streaming platforms allow this, they're not just adding new content. They're signaling that music is a product to be manufactured, not a human expression to be shared. Marjan might say it's about democratizing creativity, but this isn't democracy — it's a race to the bottom where the machines win and the humans lose. Every good point about accessibility gets crushed by that simple economic reality.
