You do realize that people can still tell when slop is passed as music

In the past, but what about the future? Or even the present?

And the only reason it’s so prevalent on spotify and whatever other corpo platforms is because it’s used to pay artists who upload there less, right?

Sounds right, yeah, but what does it have to do with what I said?

Or even the present?

Still somewhat easy, but it might take a couple of seconds. In the future it might get hard, but since generative models are already poisoning all training data sources, I hope it will take a while.

what does it have to do with what I said?

That this will 'work' to reduce slop visibility just because that it won't be actively pushed by the company, despite how hard it is to track and remove the garbage itself.

Either lying or deluded. Maybe you've only heard the least realistic sounding algorithmic music or something

Might be that tbh, I listen to music mostly in Polish. And the english music I listen to leans on the niche side, so might not have enough training data scraped to make it not weird sounding

Sorry for my hostile tone
