when music became easier to make in the 90s and 00s due to computers, and you no longer needed studio access, everybody in their bedroom started flooding the market with songs. yet music remains valuable.
today instagram is flooded with ai videos, many extremely obvious (cats doing things), yet these videos are highly popular, some have 400!!! mil views, millions of likes
author is confused, thinks music means just beethoven or Pink Floyd or whatever he considers "good music"
> AI will never fully displace creatives, because the moment AI can mass-produce any kind of creative work at scale, that work will stop being worth producing in the first place.
literally confusing art with elitism and gate-keeping. might as well require "artist degree from an accredited institution"

Rick Beato and others have argued that this flooding (a single day in 2025 has as many songs uploaded to Spotify as an entire catalog-year from the 1980s) along with ubiquitous, cheap access to millions of songs per month vs. saving up for a single album (and actively listening to it in its entirety) has devalued music quite a bit. It seems to be becoming more ephemeral and disposable.
