So, their incentive is to promote AI music, since they don't have to pay royalties for them.

How so? People want to avoid it.

Listeners will likely want to avoid it.

But "creators" pushing AI music won't tag their slop as such because they want to monetize (surprise, they're not doing it for the love of the game).

So this hinges on Tidal being able to reliably identify AI-generated music.

True, though it seems like at least 75% of the traffic on various social media and streaming sites is content that people want to avoid, yet there it is.

I really hope someone makes a music platform in the future that is verified as human-made. Music is about connecting to human emotions, not poor facsimiles of it. Tie it to in-person concerts and it might actually work as a business, as well as logistically – maybe the company can be a record producer in disguise and physically meet every musician they host.

I listen to a lot of EDM, which can be very mechanical, but I personally have strong emotional connection to. I personally would welcome AI-generated music as an alternative to human-made. To be clear: I do agree a "human-verified" system would be great, but I don't think it would be black and white. And I wo…

You will probably be able to listen to machine-generated music on most major platforms. I just hope there’s one which excludes all of that.

Personally I think it’s a bit like cultural junk food: it has the appearance of real food, but leaves one hungry afterward. Which really isn’t all that surprising – music isn’t just some random collection of patterns, it’s intimately tied to real culture. Current AI software is only ever going to copy and regurgitate human culture, not make meaningful creations from scratch.

I wonder if we are gonna see an emerging market where musicians are hired to provide support for AI music farms, I feel like gig musicians can easily cover/learn to play anything without much trouble

This would then become something similar to how legal tech where a license is required to practice law relies on a few lawyers sitting as a gate after the AI

The flood of AI music on their platform is becuase people can make money off it. If you turn off that faucet you stop the flooding.

I think this is also a reason why X has gotten worse. They pay people for engagement.

Paid to engage is a reference to the creator revenue sharing that encourages mass-appeal and ragebait content.

X is not a meritocracy of ideas, either.

junk food is a common misconception about electronic music with ppl who have only listened to trash versions of it on social media.

X pays you for engagement if you have the premium subscription. Anyone with a verification symbol will be earning money from significant engagement, hence the rise of engagement bait on the platform.
