Or someone trying to eek out a living with their music can get paid to do so. There's no shortage of music to suit people's tastes, the problem is discovering it because Spotify sucks at recommendations, and actively promotes AI slop to pad their profit margins while stiffing real musicians. So many mixes use AI instead of recommending actual artists specifically so they don't have to pay royalties.
There might be a market for talentless trash music generators, but it actively harms real people creating real music with their real talent, and I refuse to participate. Fuck AI music. Just because there's a market for something, doesn't automatically mean it's good, or the right thing to do.
