That's not the true reason. The reason is that some clever people have found out how to earn money with fake musicians. As a musician myself I can tell you, that such operations make the already completely unjust compensation scheme even worse for real musicians. But even if this scam was avoided, we still would suffer from the exploitative and abhorrent compensation scheme imposed by the record monopolists (who simultaneously claim to represent the interests of artists while primarily lining their own pockets).

If you are interested instead whether it was a real artist or just an AI (or a "stunt performer" pretending to be an artist, which includes all people who can't sing in tune without autotune), then you should be as consistent as the food industry. Personally, I'm more interested in the music itself. It's nice to know who played it, but that doesn't change the musical quality.

No that is the reason. The fact that AI music can be created, marketed, and flooded off of prompts that, themselves, can be automated, is remarkably unhealthy for the music space. And saying the music industry is fucked anyway is not very convincing.

Really? Sorry but I don't consider people like that stunt musicians. There's a wide range of human expression to be shared beyond singing technically well. A stunt musician would be someone doing nothing. Like prompting an AI.

Since you're keen on gatekeeping, I'm a musician. My whole family is. You may very well play music, but are you a musician? Your comment is genuinely more offended with auto tune than AI music. I can't imagine working myself to that conclusion, and I think that says a lot about your values, and they're not in line with any musician I know. They're more in line with a developer or A&R
