It's giving Daniel Ek a hard-on. Finally, he can replace those arrogant musicians who demand to be paid for their work. /s

What's giving Daniel Ek a hard-on is that the music industry realised AI isn't a big threat. AI first made Spotify's stock plummet from $300 to under $80, and once the realisation kicked in that the music industry is more about fame (i.e. real people other people want to relate to) than music itself, the stock price climbed up to $600.
Nah Spotify just realized they could generate their own AI music and pay no one for it.
