I did not listen to it, as I do not want to support a money flow in this direction!
However, if someone did, what kind of music is it and what kind of perceived quality does it have? I can imagine that the music will be kind of elevator music, nice, but you forget it the moment you leave the elevator…

Here’s an interesting video on the same subject which shows how relatively easy it is to generate this sort of stuff. I like the comment someone has posted: “I wish I knew this was AI before I got a lower back tattoo of Eli Mercer.‘

As ever, the snake devours its own tail.

I recall when Wikipedia was mocked for inaccuracy, yet much of the AI generated content is far from accurate, but I doubt many question its veracity. I've noticed recently that many subtitled films are probably using AI often with ludicrous results - obvious that no literate human was involved.

I guess those notorious 1000s of Shakespearean monkeys with typewriters would be more effective.

Impressive, how well this song is generated. Not my genre and of course kind of boring. But not too bad! This is going to be interesting…
That Spotify is not trying to avoid AI generated songs is somehow turn down!
