All I'm saying here is that Vocaloid is essentially an electronic instrument, like a keyboard, or a theremin, or a vocoder, or a synthesizer. Vocaloid is not very similar to AI generation, so there is no particular reason to assume that Spotify would them together.
I'm not trying to comment on what I find good or bad, nor to get into the fundamental debate on what music or art is.
Yeah you haven't made any statements but I think we are both aware of the sentiments or feelings of people on the subject. Personally wherever there are strong feelings or clashing perspectives there's a source of exploration and artistic creation.
Like for instance if someone created their own sample database, designed their own NN, trained it, and prompted it would that be enough human involvement or maybe if they had it generate then samples to be fed into a vocaloid then it would be enough or maybe for some that's still not valid music.
