I just don't see any reason to actively search for a problem. Yes it's new technology and contradicts "the old ways".

People have made music before, and I hardly believe they only made It for other people, but als themselves.

The technology aspect of it is not the problem. You can use the underlying technology of it in any number of ways, some of which could even be artistic.

We are talking about people who rather generate some random Suno songs instead of just searching for some playlists of which there are thousands upon thousands. There is something deeply dystopian about that.

Extrapolate this idea for a second: 10, 20 years from now, people generating their TV shows, their porn (including the illegal kinds), their music of dead musicians. That's individualism at its most extreme. Culture is a shared experience, you can talk to other people about the same music, same fiction, same art, because it's out there and exists in the world. When on the other hand people normalize consuming their own custom AI-generated culture, that shared experience is completely lost. At best you'll get a friend or two to watch your sitcom episode, it's not going to be a water cooler conversation at work.

It's literally dehumanizing.

I understand your points and I think there is a chance of this going wrong. Especially with the current incentive structure behind it. I personally hate smartphones because the incentive there is to get people's attention and sell it.

But without this incentives I could imagine a future where Smartphones where actually good and have a more positive impact.

But back to culture. I don't see the problem of people listening to their own created music. Even now a lot of people make e.g great photos just for them selves. As long as we don't force people to do so that's fine in my books.

Still if the incentives are bad, this can go very go wrong in very distopian ways.
