A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Tidal has a no AI setting that seems to be working for me
I began using Tidal a couple years ago because it has the best artist payment schema compared to the other big streaming platforms, and it's been wonderful. I transferred my playlists and stuff between the platforms, and aside from a few esoteric artists, everything that I had on Spotify was available on Tidal.
I've urged my spouse to make the change, but she listens to a lot of game and show soundtracks that aren't listed on Tidal (yet?).
Maybe try Qobuz, Bandcamp, or Soundcloud? Smaller music platforms' catalogues seem kinda random at times.
Not sure about Soundcloud, but I know Qobuz and Bandcamp have good artist payment schemes.
Bandcamp is great, particularly if I want physical merch, but the artist isn't touring near me, so I wouldn't be able to get it from their show. I hadn't heard of Qobuz, I'll check that out!
Oh yeah Bandcamp merch is awesome. I got a box set of cassettes, and they're excellent :3
I’m trying Tidal now. Unfortunatley it seems they only play clips of songs for free accounts?
