I suspect nostr has more people who choose to listen to AI music than most other social media sites.

Fortytwo

They know they believe in a farce, but they like the attention they get from the other vibecoders and the AI complimenting them every 30 seconds So they pretend it is great (This is also why all of the AI psychosis people use Claude)

Sometimes. Some of it is amusing. I won't say it is excellent. But... It is better than most pop-junk.

Because we're so pro AI here?

I've seen people post links to AI music stuff before on nostr. I've never seen that anywhere else or in real life. I've never met anyone who would knowingly listen to AI music. But yes, there is a general ai is great vibe here, definitely more so than most places.

I think it's a question of how one chooses to go about discovering music. I stopped using Spotify over a year ago and have returned to almost exclusively listening to WFMU, a freeform radio station based in Jersey City. All the DJ's love music and almost all of the are volunteers. This means there's no economic incentive to try to pander to some kind of lowest common denominator. I also rely on a close circle of friends with whom I share a similar musical interest.

I think the sort of people who listen to AI music don't really do the sort of "discovering music" you are doing. I don't think it is an interest of theirs. And I don't even think they are interested in radio shows like the thing you are describing where it is curated by people who are interested in music and discovering music and whatnot. I think it is a completely different relationship to music. I suspect it's the same way you relate to something you don't really think or care about, like the design of your gas bill. Imagine you could flick a switch and your gass bill came up in silly /cute / whimsical designs. You might flic the switchz in a disinteredted sort of way. Oh look my gas bill is now in times new Roman. Something like this lol. It really is just background noise. Like you wouldn't expect a 5hr white noise recording to fall asleep to, to be a painstakingly made product. It's just this. This is my guess.

I agree although it's really hard to judge what exactly touches people with music. For me, with spotify, I found that the algorithm playlists would start out with some interesting tracks that I was aligned with and after a while it would just drift out of whatever genre they claimed to be promoting into something that felt very generic. Worse yet there was nothing that shifted genres in interesting and surprising ways. There used to be guest producer and DJ playlists and those were quite good at providing the effect mentioned above. But these petered out when Spotify realised that it was less money to just allows algos to do this and that the majority of the listeners just didn't care. I'm happy to be in the minority of people who demand more from my listening experience. The money I would have spent on Spotify now goes to WFMU and the occasional support of an artist directly on bandcamp. In regard's to the invoice, if everything was not electronically paid as it is now I would be happy if these came with a little thoughtful custom design to them!

It seems to invade my earspace more here than anywhere else. Not sure why its needed, there's already Rhianna if you like robot music.

Sometimes AI songs are better… 🎶

I rarely listen to anything post late 1990s, so probably not
