We've spoken to people for this show who really love music, and some of them, you're not going to be shocked to hear this, some of them are really kind of appalled by the idea that people are listening to AI-generated music.

It has no heart.

It has no soul.

There's no real connection between the quote-unquote artist and the listener because there is no real artist.

It's artificial intelligence.

But here's what I wonder.

Your average listener is a person who is not a super music nerd.

Your average listener is a person who's on a platform and stuff maybe is getting fed to them.

And they're like, oh, I like this.

I don't like this.

What has your reporting told you about how the average listener thinks about AI music?

So what?

So they avoid it?

They don't click on it?

What do they do?

If we talk about the major players in the AI music space, what I'm coming to learn is we are not talking about individual people making music and then generating it through AI.

We're talking about platforms that let you make music using AI.

Who are the major players in this space?

Okay, so I would write in, I want a stirring early morning gospel song in the style of Rise and Shine and Give God the Glory.

And then it makes me one, just like that.
