I had some fun moments with them and nice conversations with the people, but their model really can't bear the administrative burden of having to manage and keep track of millions and millions of people whose music isn't being used.

The explosion of AI music has certainly made a dent in ways in which I don't think we can even process yet. People are now turning out full-blown productions in a matter of minutes with no musical knowledge or skill whatsoever. It's a completely new environment where no one has to actually know anything, they don't have to have ever lived or had a real emotion or a real story to tell, because the art of storytelling music is evaporating and being replaced by noise. It's no longer necessary to learn how to write, or struggle with improving your lyrics, finding something interesting to say, or learn anything all about music and song construction. Tha t's disappearing rapidly.

If 2 billion people are posting three bad songs on your platform everyday that took them 2 minutes to write how in the world are you supposed to find your way through the trash and handle the paperwork burden. It's not possible.

Music used to be a very special thing. I used to respect music so much and I had so much respect for the artists who created it and produced it and wrote it and played it.

I have zero respect for what's being done in the industry today, and that people would have the audacity to say that they wrote these things.

Music doesn't feel special to me anymore, not the way that it used to. It feels hopelessly polluted. To me the loss is overwhelming. The Domino's are falling.
