Meta and Spotify's AI takeover: is this the end of human-created content?
Briefly

Spotify's embrace of AI-generated music is less likely about improving the listening experience than it is about cutting costs and boosting profit.
Spotify pays royalties for every stream of human-made music, which adds up quickly. They are effectively working to grow the percentage of total streams of music that is cheaper for the platform.
With AI, Spotify can generate infinite tracks to fill playlists, ensuring there's never a shortage of content, no matter how niche the theme.
The whole thing is set up to be profoundly opaque: it doesn't flag when a track is AI-generated, leading to transparency and trust issues.
