The Rise and Fall of AI-Generated Pop Music.

TL;DR Summary
A new song featuring Drake and The Weeknd was produced by an AI program, raising concerns about the future of music and the potential loss of jobs for human writers and artists. The song, "Heart on My Sleeve," was composed by a mysterious figure known as Ghostwriter, who has not explained how the song was made. The music industry has been developing AI technology for a while, but the backlash to Capitol Records' AI rapper, FN Meka, highlighted the limitations of AI in understanding cultural and biographical context. While some fear the incorporation of AI into music, others see it as a new genre with new tools.
