Why I Generate AI Music But Never Listen To It

In this video, I respond to comments and questions from my recent AI-related videos — which were far more popular than I expected. I tackle a range of perspectives, from passionate AI skeptics to enthusiastic early adopters, drawing on a Deezer study that found 97% of listeners cannot reliably identify AI-generated music, and that 34% of all music currently uploaded to streaming platforms is AI generated. I also dig into the questions around copyright, monetization, and whether AI-generated music really poses the threat to traditional music production that many assume it does.

But the real focus of this video is something that surprises most people: I use tools like Suno regularly, but I almost never actually listen to what I generate. The reason has everything to do with how I think about AI music as a medium — not a production tool, not a Spotify strategy, but something closer to a game. I also share my take on the role of human creativity in an AI-saturated world, touch on why AI detection systems will only get worse over time, and respond to what is genuinely the funniest comment I have ever received on this channel.
