    That’s a load of crap, but ok

    AI created music will be the reason I cancel Spotify. I haven’t been plagued yet but it will happen. And I will cancel

      I’m pretty sure the article is at least mildly ironic. I don’t think he literally believes that “nobody cares if music is real any more.” Towards the end he talks about how AI music is not really art, and it lulls you into oblivion. The writer’s a legit scholar with an academic interest in video games, btw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Bogost
