In 2024/25, Spotify removed tens of millions of AI-generated tracks from its platform.

The scale confirmed what many in the industry already knew: AI-generated content designed to accumulate passive streams was actively displacing royalty payments from human artists. This is an economic problem, not just a quality problem.

AI tracks engineered to undercut real artists' rates damage everyone who makes music for a living. The Pack has a simple answer: feature only human-created music. This isn't a policy subject to quarterly review. It's a foundational structural commitment.

For artists, this means they aren't competing against 100% synthetic content designed to undercut their rates.

For listeners, it means everything you hear was made by a person.

We think this distinction will matter increasingly. Do you?

Why is creativity vital for a human centered future?

An AI can simulate a style, but it cannot “well up with a tear” or feel the spark of inspiration. It has no sentimentality and no inherent reason to create.
