I’m not afraid AI will replace musicians. I’m worried it will overwhelm listeners.
I've worked in music for years and I see a lot of people are worried about AI replacing artists. That’s not actually my biggest concern. What worries me more is this: AI is making music production cheaper and faster. Which probably means we’re about to have way more music than ever before.
But listening time isn’t infinite.
We already turned music into a management task: searching, scrolling, adding to queue, skipping.
What happens when that volume explodes even further? More choice doesn’t automatically mean a better experience. At some point the question shifts from “how do we make music?” to “how do we structure listening?”
Curious what people here think: If music becomes effectively infinite, what matters more? protecting creators, protecting the listening experience, or are those the same thing? #audio #music source
