That’s less of a defense of AI slop than it is a condemnation of the entire music industry.

Not to defend this garbage, but is radio pop music really distinguishable from ai slop?
People who actually care about music are not the target audience here.

Human music, I like it!

I get not liking it, and there are some real clunkers, but I think you’re dramatically underestimating the amount of craft and expertise that goes into some pop music.

I’m referring to the mass-produced crap I hear when I get a random ride. Obviously pop music can have artistic intent, but I feel like that’s a small minority.

Even mass produced things require skill and sophistication. Pop music is more like a mass produced iphone than a mass produced frisbee.
Sure the lyrics aren’t saying something important or the singer isn’t the same person as the songwriter, but a lot of hours went into it. The average person on the street could not create a comparable song to what you hear on the radio without significant effort.

From a labour perspective I agree. From an artistic standpoint not so much. I was mucking around making random beats in fruity loops when I was twelve and there weren’t even any tutorials.
