This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

About 18% of songs uploaded to Deezer are fully generated by AI, the French streaming platform said on Wednesday, underscoring the technology's growing use amid copyright risks and concerns about fair payouts to artists.

Deezer said more than 20,000 AI-generated tracks are uploaded on its platform each day, which is nearly twice the number reported four months ago.

Well, look at it this way: streaming platforms were filled with worthless inauthentic slop well before "AI" generators got popular. It's their business model.

look, that was actually funny. All the record company A&R men shitting themselves that, in straight-up A/B testing, they were failing to compete with muzak.

Yeah, to be honest I've always had a certain fascination and respect for musicians who put out reams and reams of facile music and counterfeit hits, usually relatively small artisanal operations. I collect some of the stuff. It's really the streaming platforms I hate.
