🧵 AI-generated soul music by "Eddie Dalton" is taking over iTunes, YouTube, and Spotify--raising the question of where humans think beauty and art lives.

Software-made music has gotten so good now that 97 percent of people cannot differentiate it from human-made music.

@mattsheffield 97% of people just don’t give a shit about music. as someone who cares deeply, I know for a fact that most people don’t pay attention to music at all. That’s why pop is the way it is, and that’s why AI music has even the tinyest foothold.

Those few who are actually buying albums, listening on streaming platforms regularly, etc. absolutely do notice.
