Could AI generated music flood streaming platforms completely?

This article about AI generated songs appearing across streaming services made me realise how quickly the barrier to music production is collapsing.

The systems can already imitate genres, voices and production styles surprisingly well in short clips.

What worries me is not necessarily famous musicians losing jobs immediately. It is the possibility of streaming platforms becoming overwhelmed by endless algorithmically generated background music optimised purely for engagement.

Do people think AI music tools expand creativity or could they make online music ecosystems feel even more artificial and disposable?

The scary part is voice cloning.

Hearing fake versions of famous artists already feels deeply strange

Music has always evolved alongside technology.

Synthesizers and digital production caused similar fears decades ago

I worry platforms will become impossible to navigate once anyone can generate thousands of tracks automatically
