AI is killing the careers of music artists

AI-generated music, including AI songs and AI music covers, is making waves in the music industry as it floods platforms like YouTube and TikTok. The rise of AI music production has led to a surge in music by AI, with creators such as Grimes embracing the technology for song creation and sharing revenue. Recently, a TikTok user's AI-generated Drake & The Weeknd cover, "Hard On My Sleeve," gained over 600K+ streams before being pulled.

As AI music videos and AI songs covers continue to grow in popularity, major music labels like Universal Music Group are pushing for streaming services to block AI-generated music. However, the debate remains whether they can effectively do so, as artists like Drake address AI versions of themselves rapping in songs such as "Ice Spice Munch" that have gone viral.

The future of AI and music remains uncertain, but one thing is for sure: the blending of AI music production and traditional methods will continue to push the boundaries of creativity and redefine the music landscape.
