Show Notes
This episode explores the staggering evolution of AI-generated music, moving from the glitchy experiments of the past to the studio-quality productions of 2026. Using the viral track "Onion in the Pan" as a starting point, we examine the shift from AI as a corrective tool to AI as a creative agent capable of replacing session musicians and composers. We dive into the existential dread facing the creative community, the distinction between music as art versus utility, and the massive legal battles over training data and "Data Sovereignty" that will define the future of sound.
