Yup, a lot of these AI songs are just plain good: https://youtu.be/nwBDmUdX8Io

If you heard these on the radio while working at a grocery store in 1983 you'd be begging your local music store to sell them to you.

To me this AI-generated "slop" is much more enjoyable than human-generated slop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPAg7ODubB4

Where "slop" = "what can I put out that I don't love but that people will click on?"

Sorry, but that music is really boring. I certainly would not have bought it in 1983. But, you're right that the average person on the street probably can't tell the difference.

Music out there in the real world runs in clusters and communities that form around real world places where people go to be together and make and share things. Its so much more colorful and interesting than you can imagine. But, it is admittedly just a small slice of the weirdest and most creative and crazy people who participate in those communities. For everyone else music is just a recording that appears out of thin air in their car stereo without context and the glossiest product is the one they pick.
