How about vinyl? How much AI slop is being pressed onto vinyl records?

I would imagine not very much? The people buying vinyl are buying as a collectors item or because of its audio qualities. It's very easy to accidentally listen to something that's AI generated, you have to very actively purchase a vinyl. It also costs virtually nothing to get music on Spotify but is relatively expensive to get anything on vinyl.

The same thing is happening on YouTube, my recs are stuffed full of obviously AI generated music compilations lately. It's obvious from the volume those channels are posting (often ~3 hours of "new" music every single day) that little to no curation is happening, it's just elemental slop straight from the firehose.

I love making AI music.

Sometimes I freestyle rap over instrumentals that I’ve created with AI, record myself and then use that recording to create an AI song.

Some of the songs I really love, like this one:

There’d be more to say - but of course, creating songs without regard to their quality or your input in them is slop that shouldn’t be shared.

I listened to both and they both sounded soul-less.

Agreed, on YouTube the AI slop music has been trending even more. I hadn't experienced it on Spotify however and only last month they had stated that AI music would be tagged as such.
