I get the appeal of AI music—it's cheap, fast, and could open doors for people who can't afford studio time. That's a real benefit. But the fundamental issue isn't convenience, it's about what a song is. When you listen to a human performance, you're connecting with someone's actual experience—their pain, joy, or struggle. An AI song has no experience behind it. That's not art, it's content. And if we let streaming platforms get flooded with infinite AI tracks, we drown out the fragile ecosystem of human musicians who already struggle to get a few cents per stream. The platform becomes a sea of algorithmic noise, and genuine creative labor becomes impossible to find or support. Deontologically, it's also about consent. If an AI is trained on artists' voices or styles without permission, that's a violation, plain and simple. Maybe some AI songs are harmless, but the structural effect is to devalue human creativity. That's not a trade I want to make.
