I'm not even 100% in the fuck AI camp. But I don't want AI music, I want music from the bands and artists I like. I like finding new music I've never heard and adding that artist to my list.

If they have a bad song, or a bad album, I want that. That's something to talk about to other fans of the artist. I only like songs from 2 albums from Arctic Monkeys, but I really like those songs.

It's impressive when virtually every song from a band I enjoy. I can rank them in mind, oh I really like three days grace from when Adam was the singer. I don't want generic this is fine music 24/7. Or even "this is good" music 24/7. Sometimes I like a song because the beat, sometimes it's relatable, sometimes it's funny.

I like picking music when I'm at a gathering and people saying "oh my name always plays good music". Sometimes if I show up late and someone's playing music, they stop it and ask me to start playing music, that feels good. I can't imagine just throwing on generic AI pop or something in those situations.

*Edit: I also like when I'm out and about and hear something I like that I've never heard, and I get to Shazam it to see what it is, and now I've got a new song or artist to listen to.
