    I don’t have any evidence, but anecdotally I totally believe this. My wife’s ‘AI guided playlist’ is completely full of popular song covers from people I’ve never in my life heard of. If they aren’t fake/AI generated songs, I still think they’re pushing the Great Value brand songs over the original name brand in order to save on costs.

      Well, my equally valid anecdote, my AI DJ plays artists I play a lot and know and like. It’s almost never somebody new, and if it is I usually like them and find out they have an actual history.

      As somebody who’s been into the AI space for a while now, I know AI music does exist, but at this point anything past 30 seconds sounds God awful. You’d know if it was AI, trust me.

      Stupid question, doesn’t the original artist get royalties for covers too? If anything a cover would cost more, if not only the same, not less.
