Why should we hand over the most human art form we’ve got to machines that don’t feel anything? Music isn’t just sounds—it’s emotion, struggle, joy. AI can copy patterns but it can’t replicate the lived experience that makes a song connect. If we let AI tracks flood streaming platforms, we drown out actual artists who need that space to be heard. Plus, the economics get ugly fast. Why pay a songwriter when you can feed a thousand prompts into a generator and release an album a day? It cheapens the whole ecosystem. I get the appeal of more music, sure, but we’re already drowning in content. Let’s keep streaming for people who actually create, not algorithms that simulate.
