    Have you ever spoken to an artist about how they learned how to do their craft? Or looked into how AI models "learn" from training the data. The two things arent the same, and typically, artists arent profitting off other artist's work as their learning the skill.

    The guy talking about AI doesn't really know what he talking about with these AI music outputs. The hook / melody of "All I want for Christmas" is replicated because users can upload a segment of a song into Suno or Udio, and the programs use machine learning to extend the song, and uses melodies and sounds from the uploaded song. It's actually really incredible technology, and of course these record labels want to blame AI for their losses.

    @@xgalactixtoo I agree.. But the goal of what I'm suggesting, would be to remove the necessity to do things to put food on the table. AI's end goal as it advances, functionally breaks a human worker's ability to earn an income. So we as a society must let go of that requirement on every individual's survival, and find new ways to distribute basic resources. It is the only way. Art should be created because it's fun, people love creating it and experiencing it, it's a genuine human way to express emotions and deep meaning. And what I'm suggesting is that aspect of it will be increased, if we can remove the need to do it to put food on the table. At that point, AI goes back to being just a tool, rather than a capitalist's replacement for workers.

You need to learn theory, understand the fundamental things people like in the art, learn how to use the instructions and read sheet music, modify your voice for songs, etc. A lot of passsionate work goes into being an artist. These models meanwhile just steal people work without their consent to churn out rapid art that will saturate places where people share and try to profit off their actual art.

    @@trainerkam3218 That is how people learn. People learn to imitate, then create. That is long before any music schooling, and most never go to school for Art. AI training hasn't progressed to formal education. All of AI's abilities are emergent, in that they figure it out on their own. " A lot of passsionate work goes into being an artist." Most have almost no talent. Can't write songs, or sing them. That is the music industry, an industry that combines Milli Vanilli with computer love. The radio stations are filled with robot music, while AI makes music that sounds human. "If people just copied each other to learn, then AI should be able to learn and improve on art that its generated." AI does, and is able to create new genres of music. Learning is not theft. what they need is artists who can properly critique and label songs. That is an opportunity to insure that AI meets artists needs to compete against a novice using AI. I suspect that the upload feature added for artists was exploited to make the plaintiff's evidence.

    In terms of the Fair Use argument. There is an argument to be made that because AI's data sources are so randomized, there's no way to determine where the outputs are coming from. Prior to AI, whenever any sort of content used works under AI; It was a clear indication of what the original source material was; thus the work could also be used to promote the original work. With AI ... that argument doesn't work, because you're essentially sampling from thousands of different sources, many of whom a lot of people who use the tool don't even know about.

Nowto be fair, singer voices can sometimes sound similar to some artists but usually sound different enough. All forms of writing and musical know how come from what we learn from others. Sometimes it costs money but places like here offer learning for free. TBH, i scrap things that way to similar to songs I know as that's not cool imo. I want something I haven't heard before when making songs. There is a report function on site for seeing stuff that would violate TOS.
