AI-generated music is already competing for low added value orders

AI music generation tools, like Udio and Suno, are rapidly producing large amounts of music, raising concerns among musicians about job displacement and the devaluation of human creativity. While some see AI as a threat, others view it as a tool to expand music's use in various fields such as advertising and the metaverse. Experts acknowledge AI's current limitations in nuanced composition and the legal challenges surrounding copyright and training data. Despite potential downsides, the accessibility of AI music creation offers a chance to democratize music production, although this may result in a surge of low-quality output. Ultimately, the long-term impact on the music industry and listener preferences remains uncertain.
