Let's define what we're actually talking about. An AI-generated song isn't just a tool-assisted track; it's a piece where the core musical decisions—melody, harmony, lyrics, structure—came from a model trained on human work. Streaming platforms are cultural spaces, not just distribution pipes. They shape what we listen to, what gets discovered, and what artists can make a living doing.
My strongest point is simple: AI songs on these platforms create an unfair competition problem. A human artist spends years and real money to write, record, and promote a song. An AI can mimic that style in seconds for near-zero cost. If platforms treat both equally, the economics push human musicians out. Not because their music is worse, but because they can't compete with infinite, free output.
I'll grant that AI music can be fun or useful for personal projects. But putting it on streaming platforms isn't neutral—it actively displaces the people whose work made those platforms valuable in the first place. That's why I'm against it.
