I feel like it was inevitable, with the recent buzz around NotebookLM. I'm just surprised that it hasn't been done yet.

Why is it that some people can accept - even like - music behind a voice that tells something?

I strongly dislike it. It makes it harder to listen to the voice.

Am I the only one?

Totally agree.

There used to be a commercial that would play on Canadian TV stations. It showed the view of a river, once with calm and tranquil sounds and then played again with ominous sounds like from a horror movie. When you are presented the river with tranquil sounds, you are happy and calm. When you are presented the river with eerie sounds, you dislike it. The message at the end of the video was to inform Canadians to think more critically about the media they consume, and to question if they are being led down a forced narrative rather than being given facts to question for themselves.

When I see modern day Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, etc, almost all of the videos are backed by music which is trying to bias the user. It makes me uncomfortable.
