Is AI Music the Revenge of the Talentless?
There is a strange new sound drifting through the music industry. It does not come from a basement studio, a smoky rehearsal room, a cracked laptop at 3 a.m., or a singer trying one last take before giving up for the night. It comes from a prompt box.Type a few words. Choose a mood. Ask for “emotional Afro house with a cinematic female vocal,” “dark trap like a rainy city night,” or “radio-ready pop anthem with a viral chorus.” Wait a few seconds. Congratulations: you are now, apparently, a music creator.The miracle is impressive. The culture around it is often…
Why Streaming Platforms Must — and Likely Will — Ban Mass-Generated AI Music
The streaming era was built on a seductive promise: unlimited access, endless discovery, a world of music in your pocket. For years, that promise felt expansive rather than dangerous. More songs meant more choice. More uploads meant more opportunity. More creators meant more culture. That logic is now colliding with a very different reality. As AI-generated music floods digital platforms at industrial speed, the old equation no longer holds. When tens of thousands of synthetic tracks can be produced and uploaded with barely any creative friction, abundance stops looking like freedom and starts looking like contamination. What once felt like…
AI Music Is Flooding Streaming Platforms — And the Industry Is Pushing Back
Artificial intelligence didn’t knock on the door of the music industry — it walked straight in. What started as a promising creative tool has rapidly evolved into a systemic challenge for streaming platforms, artists, and rights holders. The question is no longer whether AI belongs in music, but how its unchecked expansion is reshaping the entire ecosystem. Few numbers illustrate this better than the one recently disclosed by Deezer: over 60,000 AI-generated tracks uploaded every single day. According to the platform, a substantial share of these tracks exists for one purpose only — to exploit streaming systems through fraudulent listening…
DJ Guettou Serge: From Passionate Producer to AI Addict
The Fall of a Bedroom Producer Addicted to AI From Passion to Frustration Once upon a time, DJ Guettou Serge was like many aspiring producers. A dreamer. A worker. A night owl in front of his DAW. He spent years learning the craft: equalizing kicks until dawn, layering pads until his ears bled, and watching endless YouTube tutorials promising “the secret to a hit track.” He wasn’t lazy. He wasn’t talentless. He was simply… invisible. After releasing dozens of tracks on SoundCloud and Spotify, the reality was cruel: a handful of plays, a few polite comments, and no sign of…
The Rise of AI as a Co-Creator in Music Production
Introduction: A New Era for Music Creation Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a background tool in the music industry. In 2025, AI has become a co-creator, shaping how artists compose, master, and share their work. From songwriting assistants to mastering platforms and AI-driven recommendation engines, the integration of machine learning is redefining creativity and the listener experience. 1. AI Tools for Music Composition One of the biggest shifts in modern music production is the use of AI in composition. Musicians now rely on advanced platforms that can generate chord progressions, suggest harmonies, or even create full instrumental backdrops.…
Tired of AI-Generated Music?
I’m a musician, curator, and blogger. Like many, I use artificial intelligence every day. It helps me a lot: creating visuals, assisting with web content writing, even generating videos. In short, AI is an incredible tool. But let’s be clear: AI is a tool, not an identity. AI as a creative ally, not a replacement Yes, a content creator who needs background music for a video can use an AI music generator. It’s practical, it saves time, and it avoids having to contact a musician or purchase a license (although, let’s not forget, most generators aren’t free). But turning that…
AI-Generated Music on Streaming Platforms
A Creative Shortcut or an Artistic Deception? The rise of artificial intelligence in music production has sparked both admiration and unease. While AI has become a powerful ally for content creators, its role in streaming platforms as a credited “artist” raises deeper ethical and artistic concerns. As a music producer, I rely on AI daily—but I draw a clear line between support and substitution. AI as a Creative Assistant, Not a Replacement Let’s start by acknowledging the obvious: AI is incredibly useful. I use it every day—for correcting grammar, enhancing syntax, translating content, and even generating visual illustrations. These tools…
