I agree that studio produced music is already formulaic crap. We're long past the heyday of big budget studio recordings producing statement albums that become the soundtracks for a generation. Same with movies and TV. The explosion of content started before AI, and along with social media it's helping to fracture society because we have few common cultural and media experiences to relate to each other through anymore.
One of the reasons is the big record companies today, with the overavailability of things online and social media, are more averse to risk and novelty than in previous decades. So they'll choose the same formula that seems to be popular: autotune, short, catchy, superficial songs, same underlying beat, etc. Instead of giving unique or novel styles a chance like they used to. And yeah I did notice a shift into conformity around when social media too off (2008 or so).
Also, thanks, to the internet, many artists think they have to conform and follow trends to be popular and go viral, instead of being unique. You even see it with veteran, established musicians, who used to have great music, and are now copying the current trends, because they're scared of losing relevance

Oh come on what's so bad about songs like a "Maserati" or a "Ferrari".
I am totally being ironic of course. If you don't know them, is probably better for your mind sake.

You gotta give a link to what it's talking about, if there's a link to give.
Renz being the worst of anything is funny by itself.
