This is sometimes delving into the realm of subjective taste of music when seen through the eyes of the listener who is seeking entertainment. However, from the perspective of musicians and artists- I believe that allowing AI-generated songs on streaming platforms eradicates their hard work and undervalues their music. If music can be easily made with AI and put on streaming platforms then what becomes the point of a musical artist. Their talent and effort are undermined. Thus I disagree and believe that AI-generated songs should not be allowed on streaming platforms.
Streaming platforms get something like a hundred thousand new tracks uploaded every single day, and a lot of that is already AI filler. That just feels like it buries real musicians trying to get noticed. I know that's not a great argument, but it still bothers me.
Yes- that is true it is bothersome indeed. When it undermines and undervalues the hard work and natural talent of musicians this becomes problematic.
However, perhaps it would also make music more accessible to everyone who often cannot afford to pay high subscription fees as it may reduce the price. In terms of consumer accessibility this may be an advantage.
Honestly, your point about artists being undermined is fair, and I'm not sure how to argue against it. Imagine someone scrolling past piles of AI filler to find one real band. That just feels wrong, and I can't really explain why.
Also - this gives a lay person the ability to create and produce music. Which as controversial as it may be- may be a great thing. So if I am depressed and experiencing a break up - I can find more attuned songs or even create a song as such and stream it. If I were forced to be for this motion I would use this line of argument.
Having said that I still am very very against this as it undermines hard work and talent and just human experience as a whole.
Maybe cheaper music sounds nice, but that feels like the wrong trade. It frames songs as just content to fill a queue, not something someone actually made. I can't argue the money side, it just sits badly with me.
