I would listen to my own recordings here and there, but since they didnt sound professional I would lose interest in listening to them.  Upon discovering <a href="https://Suno.com">Suno </a>in October and feeding it the diary of my entire life in songs I came to realize my listening habits changed.  That being I am just listening to my diary since October.  It is way more personal then any other humans&#8217; songs and now with AI they sound professional. </p><p>I mention this music changing habit to a friend in May and then a week or two later saw that I am not the only one as seen in the article on <a href="https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/937059/nobody-wants-to-tell-me-why-they-only-listen-their-own-suno-slop">The Verge</a>. Of course the editor inquires why is everyone listening to their own slop and that&#8217;s an easy answer &#8212; it&#8217;s the most personal music ever to each individual.  They dont care if others listen to their slop, as some do not want to share their diary of their life, while some do and dream that their slop will make them famous (lol).  Highly unlikely, as the slop is going to change the music industry forever and big global artists like a Taylor Swift will no longer happen (really in the last 10 to 15 years there hasnt been any new mega artist on the scale of Swift or Beyonce, all who&#8217;ve been around for 20 or more years).  <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Iovine">Jimmy Iovine</a> has stated music will get more local, which I agree and like in Dublin, Ireland.  They love and revere their local musicians and rock/sing along with them in their pubs. </p><p>Feel free to follow me and my slop :) via my <a href="https://suno.com/@chaser6107">Suno profile</a>.  I&#8217;ll follow you back! </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[AI To Pay for All Americans' Content?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Last Tuesday and this weekend, I mentioned to friends that if AI paid everyone for the content we create, they would love it.]]></description><link>https://ryanspahn.substack.com/p/ai-to-pay-for-all-americans-content</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://ryanspahn.substack.com/p/ai-to-pay-for-all-americans-content</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ryan Spahn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:36:53 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/youtube/w_728,c_limit/KdMvy5mZehk" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last Tuesday and this weekend, I mentioned to friends that if AI paid everyone for the content we create, they would love it. Right now, public sentiment toward AI is highly negative as you can see from the many recent graduation commencement speeches.  Heads of states, billionaires and other commencement speakers are almost getting booed off stage.  Here&#8217;s one of many you can see on YouTube&#8230;</p><div id="youtube2-KdMvy5mZehk" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;KdMvy5mZehk&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/KdMvy5mZehk?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://ryanspahn.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Ryan's Substack!

Namely: going to work, earning a living, and paying your fair share to keep the societal wheel turning as it has for centuries. As AI evolves, computers are starting to handle our digital tasks today, while robots will take over the physical ones tomorrow.  Society as we know it is flipped upside down and that causes anxiety as to how we will keep this all going.  Well not that I have all the answers, but as noted been having thoughts/ideas I&#8217;ve discussed with friends.  Then last night I saw this video where Trump on Air Force One very recently said he will be meeting AI companies to discuss a system that somehow pays Americans.</p><div id="youtube2-CaJd88zh1h0" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;CaJd88zh1h0&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/CaJd88zh1h0?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Now, how would Americans get paid for feeding AI the content of their daily lives?   Well without our content AI is stuck in the past and less relevant, so it needs us to thrive.  With that in mind, I thought to share an idea &#8212; one that creates a system that pays Americans for the content we naturally create during our day to day.&#8230;</p><ul><li><p>Every human would have their own website and all their text and voice chats with AI would be fed to their AI generated website.  Also, their photos &amp; videos.  AI would know what to keep private and not.</p></li><li><p>AI bots from <strong>every industry</strong> would scour all humans&#8217; websites for content.</p></li><li><p>Cloudflare, a company that now acts as a bot gate would allow these bots into your site upon the bots paying you for access.</p></li><li><p>Cloudfare&#8217;s CEO, Matthew Price just mentioned that bot traffic will supercede human traffic by 2027.  He <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/bot-web-traffic-overtaken-human-web-traffic-data-shows-rcna348522">foresees</a> the internet business model could change to charging bots for access to users&#8217; content.</p></li><li><p>As humans we witness life through our phones and smart glasses, as well converse about restaurants, businesses, experiences, resorts to whatever daily.  Yet, we aren't getting paid for this highly valuable day-to-day content that AI needs for it to thrive&#8212;but we should! If AI is going to thrive off of us we need to thrive the same!  </p></li></ul><p>Overall, this is <strong>just one idea</strong> of AI paying its fair share to remain relevant and humans being rewarded to keep it that way.  With that in mind I can see humanity being more onboard with AI and that will allow AI to create the breakthroughs that help us all! </p><p><strong>About the Author:</strong> Ryan Spahn enjoys thinking ahead, innovating, and designing simple UX experiences.
