SCENE MOM SAYS: There has been a lot of talk lately about the fake AI band on Spotify. This was one of my comments on a idobi Radio reel about it. I’m not going to listen to them myself, why would I want to contribute to their streams and whomever is making money off it? I’m going to talk about this more on the next show, but in the comments I’ll have a link to one viewpoint, this quote is from it:
“I discovered that what may now be the most successful AI group on Spotify is merely, profoundly, and disturbingly innocuous. In that sense, it signifies the fate of music that is streamed online and then imbibed while one drives, cooks, cleans, works, exercises, or does any other prosaic act. Long before generative AI began its takeover of the internet, streaming music had turned anodyne—a vehicle for vibes, not for active listening.”
