These generated 'things' only pass as music if you are truly uneducated in this regard.
I'm tired of people saying, as I've read in some comments here, that this will be our dystopian future.
These generated pieces of text, art, music, etc. are mere mashup copies without sense and purpose. None of the tricks of trade and conventions the artists know and apply to their art (such as, for pop music, a standard pop song is approx. 3 to 4 minutes long, has a verse, a chorus, a bridge which are played and repeated in a specific sequence) are recognizable here. Even the deviations from said conventions are so obviously non-intentional and random, without sense or 'dramaturgy', build-up and release of tension, etc. It's not music.
If this is our future, it is only if we become less educated and, sorry, somehow significantly dumber.
And if, according to the numbers on Spotify, people willingly listen to this garbage, I only have a misanthropic "we've earned it" for you.
The only takeaway from this article is that people are staggeringly stupid and uneducated and will consume whatever trash whichever industry will throw at them.
Perhaps it's time we spent money on education again.
