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.

Wow.

Okay.

So let's talk about the reaction from major record labels.

They see this thing on the horizon.

I assume they know it is likely training on their artists.

And they do what exactly?

Okay, so I'm thinking about this from the perspective of the record label.

I want to make money off of music and I'm aware that AI is out there and I have to live with it.

So I'm starting to get used to it.

But I also know based on what you told me that people don't like knowing that they're listening to AI music.
