Why would you disrespect your favorite artist with an AI remix?Spotify and Universal Music Group have signed a licensing deal to launch a generative AI tool that allows users (particularly "superfans") to create remixes and covers from UMG's catalog. The article criticizes this development, arguing that AI-generated remixes are low-quality ("slop") and disrespectful to the original artists. It notes that platforms like Spotify, YouTube, and TikTok are already flooded with poor AI covers and remixes, and this new tool will make them even easier to produce and share. Details on how the tool works or its pricing remain unclear.The Verge·May 22, 2026
