A specialist website has used artificial intelligence to determine the type of music that the least intelligent people like…

Artificial intelligence has the advantage of being able to gather all sorts of data and cross-reference them in record time. As it increasingly intrudes into our daily lives and our devices, some users are therefore logically using it to ask sometimes wacky questions, which can be very amusing. But professionals are also increasingly using them for equally incongruous analyses.

This is how the European version of the specialist website Gizmodo very recently looked into everyone's musical tastes. And its conclusions, which should obviously be taken with a grain of salt, are most destabilizing since it notably involved asking artificial intelligence, in this case ChatGPT, if there is a genre of music that is listened to more than others by less intelligent people.

This Is The Type Of Music The Least Intelligent People Listen To, According To This Study

It should be remembered that the results generated by AIs such as Gemini or ChatGPT are mainly based on sources available on the internet. This is why the answers provided can cover many subjects, but also contain some bias. The AI ​​used here therefore clearly reminds us that studies on music or IQ do not currently present any scientific consensus. But it still suggests that “commercial pop, certain subgenres of rap and “electronic” music are generally more listened to among people with “lower cognitive levels”.

These genres are said to be “characterized by simple lyrics and catchy melodies that typically seek instant gratification,” making the music “more accessible and easier to digest” and potentially appealing to “people seeking immediate entertainment.” Conversely, “people who enjoy more complex genres, such as jazz or classical music,” tend to have a “higher level of education and cognitive development.” “These genres typically involve more elaborate structures, which might appeal to people who appreciate a deeper and more diverse musical experience,” ChatGPT says.

You've probably noticed that even when it's diving headfirst into this kind of cliché, the AI ​​always tries to remain polite and not offend anyone. “This is not to generalize or say that all listeners of these genres are less intelligent,” she says, before qualifying. There may be “many factors that influence our musical choices,” such as “cultural, emotional and social aspects.”

Pop may also simply respond to “a tendency among certain groups to avoid complexity “musical”, AI reassures us. As a reminder, it still remains the most listened to musical genre in the world according to Statista, with nearly 67% of those questioned, closely followed by rock.
