Robots are taking over the world with the advancements in AI. Technology is making it easier for anyone to compose popular music without really using much human powered creativity. I see that as unfortunate but others will embrace the idea. Marketers will capitalize on the idea. One day humans will lost the ability to function without technology to inform their daily activities. I used to be able to find my way home without GPS - but now I am lost without it. Sad. | |

No wonder it tastes like fast food. In fact it's like fast food; fast to prepare, fast to consume and forgotten fast! | |

| Dec 5, 2019 at 16:59 | comment | added | Dekkadeci | I've heard that the latest and seemingly greatest pop songs ARE written according to formula. We're dangerously close to "robots [writing] chart-topping songs for humans". | |
