Anyway, I recently noticed an epidemic flood of AI-generated music on YouTube. From more or less appealing offerings—and I do mean more or less—ranging from supposed "spy" soundtracks that are clearly rip-offs of 1960s jazz and lounge, to absurd proposals like ambient jazz set in cities like Mexico City (where jazz is and always has been decidedly underground and practically devoid of venues for its performance), or 1940s jazz, with miniatures that attempt to emulate a certain period atmosphere.

Albums or "bands" have also emerged in genres like progressive rock, metal, psychedelic rock, and other similar styles, with recordings that seem to have come from who-knows-where (maybe from the ass? Maybe), but upon the slightest listen, it's clear that it's AI-generated music: generic and soulless.

There's even a website out there that makes supposed Tangerine Dream-style sets (which obviously don't sound like Tangerine Dream, not even at their worst), Vangelis, Kraftwerk—all just opportunistic garbage for people with no musical knowledge.

And the last thing I saw, in a little YouTube window, were supposedly electronic versions, or something like that, of music by Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, and Vivaldi, or something similar. I didn't dare go in to listen to such nonsense.

And starting in 2026, melodic trance sets and other genres that came from nowhere appeared, from house and dub techno to progressive, all from faceless companies and multiplying like mushrooms on feets.

Here are a few examples, specifically of electronic dance music, which is what this forum is about, but I could multiply the examples with websites for jazz, psychedelia, metal, hard rock, progressive rock, and bluegrass.

What do you think of this invasion of artificial, soulless music? In electronic music, perhaps, just perhaps, the artificiality isn't so noticeable, but in other genres, it's undoubtedly perceptible.
