I had some invade my Playlist and it sounded good, then I decided to look up the artist and it all seemed fake based on the titles and so on. Here's an example from this studio.

Same bro, liked this song but after looking at the rest of the album and producer its all AI slop, even the album cover is AI. I feel scammed, also their aren't any lyrics posted and when listening to them it doesn't make much sense. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=z6rWLatW67c
I’m not clicking either of these. I don’t wanna send signals to the algorithm.
This stuff is gonna just become more pervasive. It’s a bummer.
It's not as if there's a shortage of new music either
That's what always gets me, too. Precisely the reason why these "AIs" can generate music is because we have such an abundance of readily accessible music already. By definition, they can only create more where we don't actually need more.
We could use different music by exploring new genres, but you can hardly do that by generating patterns from existing music.
And obviously, folks may often want more music from their favorite artist, but well, I doubt they want it to come from some machine pretending to be their favorite artist.
Similarly, there's room for meaningful songs. If Sam from biology class writes you a love song, that's hella cute, no matter if it's yet another rock song. But again, you don't want that to come from a machine.
In many ways, it is extremely depressing how the best use for these "AIs" is specifically grifting. If you want to make a quick buck by stealing someone's creativity, they are fucking excellent for that.
Miss Manners should provide guidance on how to politely ask family and friends who generate this stuff to please stop sharing them.
