Not just AI music, but "ghost artists", which are real people paid bottom dollar to create generic playlist music in a theme, under a different name. https://www.tomsguide.com/entertainment/music-streaming/spot...

Ghost artists? Aren't they called a studio artist which makes up the majority of paid works produced. Selling art and the copyright happens in every area. Most visual art produced for money doesn't have an artists name attached either.
I went to an upmarket oceanside resort last year. The entire music playlist was 12 minute remixes (possibly AI) of repetitive upbeat ambient.

It was sending the staff crazy to listen to it all day.
