How about vinyl? How much AI slop is being pressed onto vinyl records?

I would imagine not very much? The people buying vinyl are buying as a collectors item or because of its audio qualities. It's very easy to accidentally listen to something that's AI generated, you have to very actively purchase a vinyl. It also costs virtually nothing to get music on Spotify but is relatively expensive to get anything on vinyl.

Zero. Vinyl has costs of production, AI slop doesn't.

Not zero: https://www.reddit.com/r/fantanoforever/comments/1jnf82d/guy...

On a related note, my vinyl collection is looking more and more prescient over time.

If streaming gets sufficiently bad, I’ll just spend the subscription fee on newly released records, and artists will get a lot more than they do now.
