Spotify is already pushing ai slop in their playlists. Look up a generated playlist that's really generic, like "forest sleep" or "chill hop study" or something like that, and bet that most or all of it is ai generated stuff.
I don't think it's THE future of music, but it'll probably have a place in the future as like background music, supermarket music, etc. People will always like actual artists. There's always been commercial slop (like royalty free, corpo, muzak, etc.) and I can see ai being big in those spaces.
To expand a bit on "people will always like actual artists"
There's so more to music than the actual music itself. There are identity aspects, fashion, social, group dynamics, cultural, etc. that matter just as much as the notes coming through the speakers. You can't replace a scene with an ai generated playlist because people have to drive that scene, and the relationship between the artist and the fans is a huge part of that.
>However, none of the comments really seem to have caught on
You mean the AI bots didn't catch on?
I listen to some of the AI city pop playlists while I'm working and just need pleasant sounds in the background.

Companies will just use AI to generate music and then hire actors to pretend to play it.
Totally agree
>how can we tell that we are listening to music made by humans.
do you have hears? you can hear the ai in the voice
