A speaker dismisses an AI-generated song that hit number one on Spotify, arguing that real music from vinyl and cassettes beats algorithmic productions. He's noticed his favorite songs were often remakes, and he now prefers originals, convinced only actual artists can capture something AI can't.
when I saw that the AI-generated artist and song had hit number 1 on Spotify, I just, I cut it off because I'd rather listen to my records and my cassette tapes because I know that that's real. But if you've stumbled across it, you've heard some of our music from the '80s and the '70s and the '90s, and you've probably liked it very well because it felt unique and you could tell there was an artist behind it. In fact, there were so many times that a favorite song of the '80s was a remake. We thought that was our song, and as I got older and heard the older version, I'm thinking, well, our version was better.
