The real reason is not that people can make money off it, it's that actual people are listening to it.

Let them do, if they like to listen, whom are you to say their tastes are bad ?

People do listen to it and enjoy it but to some degree it becomes a marketing problem. I don't know how to weight the moral issue of someone missing out on a song they would love and instead getting a one they merely like because the ai stuff is flooding the market, but it would be nice to tip the scales a bit in the other way.
Why would I pay 10 dollars per month for music I can AI-generate myself for free?
That's right. Why would you?

Other people seem to be fine with it. Why wouldn't they?

Are they paying for the AI music, or for the human music on the platform that is now being thinned out with the AI music?

They're fine with it now, but at what does the bread taste more like sawdust than flour to these same customers? 20%? 40%? Half? 70%?

You can only deteriorate your core product so much before people start going somewhere else.
