Picture this: you're driving home after a long shift, and a song comes on that absolutely gut-punches you. You find out later it was written by an algorithm that scraped a thousand sad breakup songs and stitched them together. Does that change how you feel about it? Maybe. But here's the thing—the artist who actually lived that heartbreak, who sat at 2am with a guitar and worked through it, they don't get a cut. They don't get credit. They just get their style mimicked.
I get the appeal, Chxrmz. AI is cheap, it's fast, and it can produce infinite variety. But streaming platforms already have a massive problem with artists getting pennies per stream. Flooding them with machine-made music doesn't just compete for listens—it competes for meaning. We value music because it's human expression. Letting AI spam the platforms turns that into content sludge. Is it right? I don't think so. We need to keep streaming spaces for human voices, even when the machine gets close.
