"There was a whole chain of separate departments dealing with proletarian literature, music, drama, and entertainment generally. Here were produced rubbishy newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime, and astrology, sensational five-cent novelettes, films oozing with sex, and sentimental songs which were composed entirely by mechanical means on a special kind of kaleidoscope known as a versificator."
Honestly, the difference between what we have today and what we had 10-15 years ago (uninspired, repetitive and boring melodies, and lyrics written by 65+ yo Norwegian men to be sung by and marketed to teenage girls) is not that large.
The people who generate AI slop "music" also run thousands of bots, who "listen" to their slop on repeat 24/7, to bump those numbers up, its pathetic af but all they care about is money.

How many listens pushing this to the top are just curiousity of people listening to the 'AI song'.
I just struggle to care about this as an achievement, it's pure novelty.

The number one of anything is usually too stupid to notice.
