Where are they getting the training data from for AI music models? I guess it's the same issue as art and language models, but wouldn't they need to only use royalty free music?

I genuinely do not care what the robot artist was trained on. Why would this sci-fi technology be held back by anything as stifling and corporate as copyright law?

While I would love to live in a world where people didn't need to work to make a living, right now we do. And I would rather the artists who make the music I enjoy not need to worry about someone making an AI clone of them who can pump out new albums on demand.

Too late.

Nevermind that paying those musicians for their work was already pretty optional. Most of them do okay regardless. It's almost like people care about one another and will throw money directly at creators so long as it's easy and appreciated.

Making sure people have money is infinitely more desirable and infinitely more doable than making this highly-publicized and highly-democratized technology cease to exist.
