I’m listening to more and more AI music on Spotify. It’s got little depth but it’s very catch on the surface.

There is no doubt in my mind that this is a very quick race to the bottom and we will long for real music written by real people. At least some of us will.

Streaming services are SO incentivized to play AI music they create themselves. No need to pay pesky royalties. It’s akin to LLMs taking over search…Google gets to keep users on their property where the can continue to show ads.

Thank goodness my 2nd gen iPod still holds a charge and has all the MP3’s I’ve ripped from my cds.
