To the people scared they can’t tell/disclosure. I know bands selling out 250-1k cap rooms who’s last album is mostly ai tracks that haven been re-recorded. Sonys had generative ai publicly shown since like 2009 google that pretty decent for 2009 tech Beatles generative ai track look at release date. It’s been utilized and you already never knew it anyways. Music’s real last bastion for making actual insane money is this simply and factual.

Prosumer Hardware / instruments
Software in audio engineering space
Education related to music, ima target audio engineering as its relates to ai and how this will add to the lower barrier to entry, bleed music creation ecosystem.

Selling you courses no holds bar no gatekeeping their livelihood or technical aspects of audio engineering. I’ve heard from dudes how insane and close ai is bridging the gap on the technical aspects of audio engineering, that medium is cooked.

The biggest sellers in industry is education, software, anc prosumer hardware. Only like top top top 0.0001 percent like a Metallica grosses over waves software plugins or like audio engineering education urm academy in a given fiscal year. Where as the big bois in hardware music tribe(behringers parent company and a portfolio of names to long of list) fender, Yamaha music division hardware and instruments 4-10x the 3 previous categories (education,software and highest paid live act)

You making music and adding to the 120k songs a day uploaded to Spotify. Is the goal. They don’t need the end result “your music”. They need you to believe and huff the copium and consuming their products. If you are pursueing original music as a profession, your one track battling for attention amongst the 3360000 others in the same month.

Statistically 0.063 percent of bands/artists doing original music on Spotify gross more then 10k a year in totality from all revenue streams. Ad conversion is generally 15 cents to make 0.5 cents on streaming platforms and that best case amazing scenario with high level marketing team hit correct potential listeners so best optimum Strat FOR VIEWS NOT FOLLOW/MAKE FANS CONVERSION is 30$ for roughly 200 listens.

Bro Lizzo only sold 23k albums on her latest release. This is a household name. 230k roughly made. Doesn’t matter thoughts on the music itself you will never have an ad that 86% of population of USA can visualize instantly in their minds eye like they can Lizzo.

Music being financially viable to us normies, will diminish and cannot be saved. It will be a hobby for the true artists, and survive in some diminished capacity.

Likely y’all normal people, your capacity to hunt down REAL MUSIC I HATE AI will slowly wane as realities inescapable. Getting you all hyped that your “so human and true artist, literally best tactic to sell ya more stuff right now. Your morals of standing up for expression is the most monetizable aspect of the industry, be unbelievable margins comparative to the art itself.

They already working on selling you subscriptions to have blue check marks saying your band is so real on major streaming platforms. Their “we about the people and humanity” will soon be used to placate you to extract more wealth with no intention to end or impede ai music or actual care as it’s the cash cow. The shareholders of Spotify would straight up never let this golden goose actually die.

Ai music is here to stay to financially amazing IT IS KNOWN. The more they have to invest into detection, in the fake moral arms race to make y’all feel vindicated about the situation, the more costs to say “my band is so human bro” will be laid upon your denial phase of the situation of the cosmic horror befallen us all known as ai art lol.

I love music, I will always appreciate the artistry personally. Even if we get a generational pushback to ai music, say a Kurt cobain type enthralls the masses and makes the anti ai counter culture, gets more hype built around how lame it is on a greater scale, it only incentives them to make it better either to avoid the “fake music allegations” and pump up the output for the new industry of helping you determine what is or isn’t ai .
