On July 24, 2026, Greek singer Koni Metaxa publicly expressed her opposition to the increasing use of artificial intelligence-generated music in public venues. While at a beach, the artist reported hearing AI-created songs playing for over 15 minutes, which prompted her to use social media to voice her frustration and initiate a call to action.

Metaxa urged DJs to stop playing AI-generated content, arguing that such practices undermine human creativity and threaten the livelihoods of professional musicians. She warned that if artists stop producing original work, the music industry will become homogenized, with DJs eventually relying solely on automated tracks. This incident reflects the broader ongoing debate within the entertainment industry regarding the ethical implications and the professional impact of artificial intelligence on human artistic expression.
