The world of music journalism is currently dominated by chatter of the ‘promised land of AI’ and it’s really quite simple to produce an article about a band. AI generators grab the details of your entered keywords from millions of sources and compile something very quickly indeed!  Frightening – so why bother going through all the research, listening to downloaded albums and spend hours thinking what you want to say in a review?
