This week on Educate Your Earbuds, we’re diving into the glitchy, chaotic collision between AI and the music industry — where viral hits don’t always have a human behind them and the line between “artist” and “algorithm” keeps getting blurrier.

I’m breaking down the unexpected ways AI is already shaping the songs we stream, the drama it’s stirring up behind the scenes, and why some people are calling this the biggest shift in music since streaming. From legal gray areas to creative breakthroughs, things are getting complicated fast… and honestly, a little weird.

So what does the future look like — a musical renaissance, a tech takeover, or something in between? Tune in to find out. 🎧✨
