Which is disappointing, but definitely par for the course when it comes to Spotify not giving a care about musicians. Doubly so considering it seems most of Broken Avenue&#8217;s &#8220;popularity&#8221; comes from AI-generated playlists.<\/p>\n<p>The project not only steals their music, but also seems to be using shitty AI-generated variants on the covers of other artists records.
