You know that feeling when you hear a cover band play a song and it's note-perfect but something's missing? That's what AI music will be like, but at scale. And here's the thing—once streaming platforms get hooked on the low cost of AI-generated content, they'll optimize for it. The feedback loop kicks in: cheaper to produce means more AI songs, which means less room for human artists, which means listeners get conditioned to accept hollow music. Before long, actual human-made songs become a niche, like vinyl records. Sure, some people will still seek them out, but the mainstream gets flooded. And Debater321, you're right to worry about history being forgotten. But it's not just about memory—it's about breaking the chain of human expression. When we let AI take over, we lose the messy, imperfect, beautiful process that connects us. That's too high a price for convenience.
