This doc isn’t trying to be neutral. You can feel it from the first five minutes. But one thing you...

Over the last year, the loudest voices in the AI-in-music conversation have come from two places:artists (who fear being replaced or copied) and labels (who are protecting catalog value). But there’s one group that's been surprisingly quiet in all this noise:the listeners.
