Is formulaic pop music produced by a corporate label that's designed to push all the right buttons more "human" than the average track you find published on Suno? I wouldn't say so. Pop music was already to some extent a commodity.

Actually, it is more human, because there are humans involved at each level. Doesn't matter if you think the music sucks, it's definitionally more human than AI music.

It is sort of a blend now. Beats and rhythm tracks are often generated. Vocals are auto-tuned. There's still some humanity in it, but it's not what it used to be.

AI music is generated from the result of training on far more human-made music than any human could ever consume in their lifetime, so there are even more humans involved in its creation.

The commodification of humanity predates human history. It may be a negative trend that alienates us from each other and from the products of our labor, but it is truly ancient.

And as everyone knows, some commodification of some thing means we must go ahead and totally commodify all the things.

		That's disingenuous. The point is that "human" isn't a particularly good dividing line if you want to distinguish music with value vs music without.

		Also, a lot of the people who hate and resist AI slop also hate and resist corpo slop, we're just outnumbered.
