Spotify pays musicians something, and tracks that go viral pay better and can occasionally lead to break out deals. Spotify may be putting price pressure on musicians, but it still depends on musicians directly. AI music doesn’t. AI doesn’t pay anything and never turns into a publishing deal. I feel like you’re ignoring the chilling effect of the narrative that AI has, and like I mentioned, I think that chilling effect is already happening.
