What happens to music culture when songs are created by AI?

This episode is not about hating AI. AI is a tool.This is about transparency, identity, culture, and human connection in music.

I recently came across an AI-created song with hundreds of thousands of views.The comments were emotional. People asked when they could see the artist live.They wanted to meet a person who doesn’t exist. And that made me pause.

We grew up with artists we could see on stage, hear live, feel in real moments.Their journey mattered. Their growth mattered. Their imperfections mattered.

So I’m asking without judging:• Do we still care who is behind the music?• Does it matter if a human sang it?• Or are we moving into a time where emotion is enough, no matter how it was created?

In this episode, I talk about:• How music culture worked then vs today• AI-created songs and emotional attachment• Transparency and fairness for listeners• What this means for real artists• Award shows, talent shows & live performance in an AI era• Why interviews, live shows and real presence still matter• How real artists can stand out, sell directly, and build real communities• Why culture, identity and lived experience cannot be replaced by prompts

This is also a message to real artists:You are not invisible.Your work, discipline, sacrifices and truth matter.

You don’t need to be louder everywhere.You need to be clearer where it matters.

Music is more than data.It’s lived experience.

Thank you so much for listening and im happy to hear from you.

Much love
