Shea's Violin

This is getting out of control. I go to my "Trending Videos" tab in youtube studio to see what is popular recently on a regular basis. Today I thought there might have been two non-ai (a record from 1974?, nope completely hallucinated by AI).

This is what is popular right now, and this even has survivorship bias where these are the ones that are successful. There's a firehose of AI music being generated and dumped on this site. I can't compete with this, and this is what people prefer to listen to and watch.

The unfortunate truth is that with AI sucking up all of the space, there's no room for small human artists like me to get impressions on this site anymore.

It's exhausting and terrible. Please, PLEASE support human artists, even if they aren't me. I know that anyone that sees this probably will vehemently agree, but TELL PEOPLE! The only way this dies is if people refuse to interact with it.

If human artists can't afford to make music, this is all there will be left in a few years.
