Look at what happened last year when that fake Drake and The Weeknd song blew up. Millions of streams, and neither artist saw a dime or had any say. That's not creativity, that's exploitation.
Here's the thing about AI music—it doesn't write songs because it feels something. It just remixes existing work without permission or payment. Streaming platforms already pay artists pennies per stream. If you flood them with AI tracks, human musicians get buried under an avalanche of soulless content that costs nothing to make. Labels will replace session musicians with algorithms. Singer-songwriters who can't afford to compete with infinite output will just disappear.
I get that some people want novelty or background music. But we're talking about an industry where most artists already struggle to survive. We shouldn't let tech companies profit from copying human creativity while giving nothing back.
