Interesting, techno/trance producer BT was talking about this like 5 years ago. Very smart guy.
Anyone out there trying to demonstrate this?
That to me seems like a general observed behaviour with LLMs. Adding more agents I don't think it will break the mold.
On the other hand the majority of people listen to bland/generic music all the time. Thus I'm really kot that surprised when "AI artists" become popular.
I do not want to pay for AI generated music from a place like Spotify. If I wanted AI generated music I would just go to the AI music generator and pay them directly.
Maybe Spotify could focus on AI features that help artists discover audiences, organize events, and get paid.
Instead they just want to steal the very little money that artists actually make.
Another problem is that I'm getting absolutely spammed with AI songs on Tiktok, Shorts, Reels etcetera. Cheap AI copies even get more streams than the original. Who is even listening to these cheap copies?
Also, one of my friends uses Suno to make "music" and put it on YouTube, and I just don't have the heart to tell him it's "slop" and I've never/won't listen to it.
In a normal world there'd be a market research phase and the tech CEO would be looking at topline stats on where they think users are looking. And then they'll develop products to meet their requirements before competitors do.
Instead we have a made up product (that other AI platforms may offer for free) and a market research report that is telling the CEO that consumers consider the product 'slop'. And the result is a brand deal, money put down, and the CEO having to try to convince consumers it's not slop before it even launches.
This is what we call 'dead on arrival' right?
I'm not convinced they won't succeed. Streaming content providers use surveillance and consumer's lack of taste/discernment against them. They know people are likely to click on whatever they put on the personalized home screen. That's why so much Netflix trash gets watched. They've weaponized passivity.
