Well it happened, just like I predicted. Last year I started warning people that if musicians kept using AI slop for their artworks and if no regulations were put in place to protect human artists, people would also stop truly caring who makes the music they listen to. Not because AI slop is better than human made music, but simply because AI can invade streaming platforms and social media at an infernal rate. About 40 to 50% of all music distributed per day on streaming platforms is now made with AI. People told me « you’re freaking out, people don’t care about AI music, the plays will never be high on AI gen music » …. WELL the current #1 song on US and global iTunes is AI generated. That song has taken over social media trends, and because nothing has been done to prevent AI slop to enter charts, this song is about to explode. I don’t care what it sounds like, I don’t care if it’s « good » because AI music steals from other artists. But corporations are slow to adjust because they mostly care about money. We need laws quick, and if we can’t find a way to ban AI from the arts, we at least need official certifications that clearly state when the music uses AI, and it needs to happen fast. You might think I’m exaggerating, I’m not. Human made art is crucial in so many ways to keep our foundations alive. I know some of you don’t care about stuff like this, but it’s time to care. It’s time to think about the long term impacts this will have on all of us. Thanks for reading all of this (your attention span is not f*cked yet it seems 😅).
