Plenty of people use music as a fidget toy while working or studying. Not everything has to be a masterpiece.

I think that attitude has downstream effects that are spiritually unhealthy. You should feel off-put by the idea of mentally sating your human brain with a soulless, algorithmically optimized imitation of art. We evolved with art as a species. I don't think anyone should be trying to "logic" their way into thinking humans are optional in art, even if it's something you're passively consuming.

There's more quality ambient music out there recorded by actual humans than you can listen to in a lifetime already.
