Personally, I'm not somebody who listens to a lot of music... So when I'm being subjected to algorithms that are loaded with AI "artists" that are literally ranking at the top of the Billboard charts, suddenly I feel like I'm in a good position to cancel my music streaming subscription and buy my music outright!
Yes, that is LITERALLY happening... The people behind some of the biggest songs right now (according to the Billboard charts) aren't talented singers or songwriters... They're just really good at prompting an AI service like Suno to make music for them. When I learned this, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to get ComposerCleo on the show to talk it through a bit. Not only is he an incredibly talented musician, but he happens to be the very same talented musician that composed the music for this very podcast. He knows what it's like to stream music as a listener and also has experience as an artist who publishes his music to streaming platforms like Spotify and YouTube Music.
