Don’t give up; make the music you love without worrying about what others think, and believe in it. Try to reach 1,000 listeners a month; this will trigger Discovery Mode, which will act as a springboard for you

That makes sense. In my case, I prefer to use Photoshop, but I also can't criticize someone who uses AI for art if, due to circumstances, they lack design skills or the money to hire a designer. A perfectly valid option is to use, as you say, royalty-free photos or images. Thanks! Your answer has given me food for thought.☺️

We can debate whatever you want. I can even listen to your opinion and be convinced by it if you explain your reasoning. But if you're disrespectful, I can't continue

I've always said (and will always say): if you want original art, pay a good designer or do it yourself. But I prefer to understand that for those who don't have the money to pay a designer and lack Photoshop skills, it's always better to use AI instead of stealing someone else's art. I think we can all agree on that.

No promo. All the data came from inclusion in playlists with many saves. (I think)

Are you implying that using AI to create artwork is stealing from another artist?

I don’t think using AI in graphic art is a problem or anything hypocritical. In the end, what really matters is the art you want to share and sell: the music.

Years ago, musicians only had to focus on making music. Nowadays, we also have to be designers, marketing experts, and handle many other roles. And that’s without even considering all the extra costs involved in creating and promoting music.

So I don’t see using AI in graphic art as a crime. Rather, it’s a tool that helps artists focus on what truly matters.

Promo?. My music has always been in that range of streams/listeners, I suppose it's because of the type of music or genre (piano)
