Why Humans Remain Essential in the Age of AI-Generated Music

AI can now create music at unprecedented speed and variety. Feed it vast datasets, specify a genre or mood, and within minutes you get countless tracks. But at the end of the day, someone still needs to say, “Yes, this is the one”—to make the call on what actually gets released.

AI generates endless possibilities, but picking the right one, deciding where and how to use it, and clarifying the message behind it—that’s a human job. In an era of infinite music, the act of “choosing” itself becomes a creative process.
