I don't fucking want "infinite personalized music", I want music conceptualized, created, and played by human beings.

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.

I'm not sure if this sentence is saying people are leaving Spotify because it's bad for discoverability, or not leaving because other methods are bad for discoverability, or what.
But, assuming you're saying that people keep using Spotify because it helps them discover new music. Sure, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I'm just saying it's not very good, and it's not a solved problem. It's better than nothing, and if you directly buy from artists what you're left with is basically nothing.
Personally, I've never found any new artist I care about via a tool. I found Too Many Zoos through viral social media. I love their stuff. I don't remember how I heard about Khruangbin, but it also have been social media. I don't think a tool would have found either of those for me because I wasn't listening to anything that sounded like them.
