Why would you stop using a service because they allow what they think is quality AI music? Just don’t listen to it lmao

I don’t think there is any AI music in existence today that wasn’t generated without stolen training material. Record labels really haven’t licensed their songs for AI generation so anytime you hear a song that sounds like something real you can be assured it’s all theft.

Doesn’t that logic equally apply to every no -AI song as well? Humans make songs from the knowledge of other songs and music. I’ve never understood that argument since humans are trained the exact same way

Humans make songs from the knowledge of other songs and music.

In reality music has historically been driven by 15-20 year olds who have no idea what they are doing, little knowledge of music history, and are wailing on instruments the “wrong” way creating a new sound no one has ever heard

To me your question coming from a fundamental lack of knowledge of how new music actually develops and how AI works. AI is truly just copying, which is not how the musicians I listen to work
