The burden here is on those claiming AI songs deserve a place, and they haven't met it. Streaming royalties come from a finite pool. Every algorithmically generated track pushed onto these platforms doesn't create new revenue, it dilutes the payments that real musicians rely on. That's not a hypothetical; it's a direct, measurable harm to working artists. And let's be precise: we're not talking about tools used by humans. We're talking about fully autonomous songs flooding a marketplace with no meaningful human authorship. That isn't expression; it's noise with a distribution deal.
