Naomi Kuria explains why she dislikes AI-generated music
By Valerian Khakayi, June 15, 2026Digital content creator Naomi Kuria has shared her strong opinion on AI-generated music, saying she does not enjoy it and prefers songs created by real human artists.
Speaking about the growing trend of AI music, she expressed frustration over what she describes as a repetitive and monotonous sound across different AI-generated tracks.
“How do you feel about AI music? Because personally inamibore sana, especially because it is a single tune to every single song,” Naomi said.
Reasons for dislike
Naomi added that music should have different emotions, styles, and unique expressions depending on the artist and message.
According to her, AI-generated songs tend to lack this diversity.
“Ata wimbo zinafaa kuwa na different feel; it is just giving the same feel to the song, and it is not entertaining,” she explained.
She further pointed out that even when different voices are used in AI-generated songs, the outcome still sounds similar regardless of whether the song is sung by a male or female voice.
“A song sung by a male AI sings the same as the song sung by a lady,” Naomi added.
Naomi also said she misses the originality and emotion that comes with human voices in music.
Additionally, she criticised the increasing presence of AI-generated songs on social media platforms, especially YouTube and TikTok, where such content is quickly gaining popularity.
“Every time I am in a space where they are playing those AI musics back to back, I miss hearing a human voice in music; I miss hearing the uniqueness in different songs by different people,” she stated.
She went further to say that she prefers listening to real human performances and would even leave a space if AI-generated music were played continuously.
“When I come to your house and find you are playing a mixtape of AI, I’m leaving, or you can change and listen to human beings. Kwani haumiss kuskiza sauti ya mtu?” she said.
Her comments come at a time when AI-generated music is rapidly growing across the internet, with platforms such as YouTube and TikTok seeing an increase in AI-created songs that mimic human voices and styles, sparking debate among music lovers about authenticity and creativity in the industry.
