On a regular basis we step nearer to our demise. We’ve all been upset about AI—not less than, individuals who care about creativity and particular person rights to IP—however the best way it’s affecting the music business can also be a low blow. AI musicians have been charting for just a little bit now, however there’s one specifically that Lucas Woodland of Holding Absence has beef with, and that’s Velvet Sunset.
Now admittedly, I’ve no fuckin thought who Velvet Sunset “is,” however apparently a complete lot of others do. Based on Woodland, this faux ass excuse for a band surpassed Holding Absence’s streaming numbers—together with a number of #1 spots—on Spotify in solely a pair months. Velvet Sunset was formally confirmed to be an AI “band” over the summer time, however not sufficient individuals took situation with that, so precise bands have discovered themselves a bit misplaced within the weeds.
Woodland stated this, and I couldn’t agree extra::
“So, an AI ‘band’ who cite us as an affect (ie, it’s modelled off our music) have simply overtaken us on Spotify, in solely TWO months. It’s stunning, it’s disheartening, it’s insulting – most significantly – it’s a get up name. Oppose AI music, or bands like us cease present.
“What can we do?” – I imagine we are able to solely foyer for transparency now. These artists ought to have “AI” on their Spotify paintings, in order that playlists can’t sneak them onto playlists. In any other case, violently assist actual music. Purchase merch. Attend exhibits. That’s probably the most we are able to do for now.
“‘Make higher music’ was my favorite take btw. These fashions are LITERALLY TRAINED OFF MY BAND lmao. After which releasing songs at a tempo bodily inconceivable to duplicate Chess robots have been beating human world champions for 30 years now. ‘Get good’ is a petulant opinion.”
How idiotic the audacity have to be to inform an precise musician to make BETTER music so AI doesn’t steal extra of it. What within the precise fuck?
