@ACID_CASUALTY Not that I trust the labels (and their handmaiden Ek), either, but at least a good use of their $$.
(I suspect they're ramping up their own AIs...)
@t_heislen Been out of the game long enough that the AI nonsense is all new to me. Dig some of the crazy mash ups, or mix ups would be more accurate. But if its my jamz, id be pissed.
@ACID_CASUALTY Oh, it's more shady than that. Spotify et. al. use existing music to train the AI, then use their algorithms and in-house playlists to funnel listeners to their own stuff, keeping all the money.
And, the new monetization policy means they don't pay on 80% of the human generated content on the platform, keeping that money at well. Finally, Spotify uses "questionable playlist activity" to boot you off, even if you've never submitted to, much less paid for, a playlist.
Here's a video of Beato talking about AI in today's music, with some examples.

@tgraph52 @ACID_CASUALTY Saw that, now he's doing a set on what's gone wrong -- some of the implication so far is that the "lower bar of entry" is partially at fault...which is, to me, a little bit industry oriented in a way... To my mind, a society of music makers is healthier than a society of music consumers, and there's still room for professionals in such a world (see: music before the recording industry). What I see is the industry trying to take music making back away from the people.
@tgraph52 @ACID_CASUALTY Gioia's a good follow...whereas I can't really take Lefsetz anymore, he's too enraptured with the business moguls and the business itself vs. the music
@t_heislen @ACID_CASUALTY
Here's another point of view on the topic from Ted Goia. He's an interesting character.
