Comment on Half a million Spotify users are unknowingly grooving to an AI-generated band
SandmanXC@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI’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.
