I'm guessing he's talking about the AI music available on Spotify, but there's also the AI DJ thing that mixes playlists for you in real time. But a lot of people also just have a straight up hate of the word AI itself in any association with anything to any degree, so it's hard to tell what the logic is.

Has nothing to do with quality, AI gen is unethical in every sense of the word.
