I've been to spar and checkers over the last while and I shit you not, I've been hearing them play AI generated music. I try to shazam the songs to see if it actually picks up anything but the music isn't even recognized. It sounds like the song was generated off of Suno 3.5 or some shit.
I guess it's cheaper to do that than to pay for licenses for actual songs..

While there's lots of stuff that Shazam can't pick up on, if they are using AI generated music, it would save them a significant amount in music licensing fees (apparently $250 to $2000 a year in the U.S.).
