The Top 40 songs were already soulless.

Now that anyone can generate a halfway decent pop song at the snap of the finger leads to one of three outcomes. We all just listen to our own interactive stations and have no shared culture, pressure is put on industry to differentiate with a higher quality product, the technology is democratizing and unlocks a new generation of creatives who are able to work with it creating an amplified output.

#4 Some continue merrily onwards with weekly / regular jam sessions with friends and passers through, catering to all skill levels and largely ignoring top 40 and AI trends.
Not all of them. It's hard to get chart hits with AI. I've got a friend who tries but the AI songs are all kind of mediocre.
