I can't say I've noticed, but have you tried using Shazam or a similar music identifying app? Even if that turns up no results, that's probably an indicator that it's GenAI (assuming the sample you record is clear enough).

    To me it sounds like a measurment problem first. For instance many Boomers are obsessed with the Beatles or The Rolling Stones and probably listened to their albums a lot more than a local band such as Cream, but the the listens weren't measured only the sale was.

    charts used to be based on purchases of records, CDs and cassettes, they now include digital downloads and streaming, which account for more than 70% of industry revenues. Streaming has risen more than 50% in Australia in the last five years but the share of streams that are Australian content has fallen 31% over the same period

    This 31% number seems to be the closest the article comes to explaining why there may be a meaningful drop in interest in Australian music. But it doesn't develop that part enough.

    Jupiter is a favourite of mine, but i've been listening more and more to Mars. Its so interesting to listen to Mars and then listen to The Battle from the Gladiator soundtrack by Hans Zimmer and/or Gavin Greenaway. There are some really obvious inspirations from Mars to The Battle, very cool to here them.

    I'm listening right now and I'll make a lazy bet it will a piece by Beethoven. Hope I'm wrong not because I don't love Beethoven but because it's usually a Beethoven.

    A minimal option could be license fees occurring every time a companies re/trains their model. Probably wouldn't be something the creative industry would go for, but they might.

    A maximal option could be incurring licence fees for every 'token' used. That turns it into something akin to what occurs now, whether thats good or not, i don't know.

    Speaking of McDonalds, I seriously don't understand those still eating in in this day and age. It's overpriced pseudo-food. There is no benefit. I'd rather eat a decade-old military ration, or a plain block of tofu.

    The only times I've even considered it in the past ten years are in a group of inebriated friends leaving a club/party who all want to eat, plus every other shop in walking distance is closed because it's midnight
