We are getting to the point where a Butlerian jihad will be necessary. Though shalt not make a machine in the image type vibe. The arts exist for people to explore and enjoy.

The case against Smith highlights a growing problem for the music industry that had largely recovered from the Napster music piracy era of the early 2000s only to be faced with an AI-based threat to revenue from music streaming platforms such as Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify and YouTube Music.

This is supposed to make me feel sympathetic to the multi billion dollar corporations? Fuck all the way off with that shit.

The ONLY reason the industry cares is because of the fake streamers part of this. They not only welcome ai music, platforms like Spotify are creating ai music of their own so they can cut out the pittance they pay the artists.

This is not a goodguys-win story.

when do the ai owners start paying the damages on stealing content to power the models? it's kinda the same..

I feel like I'm missing something in this article. If he was taking the music but also faking the play counts with bots, how were other artists missing out?

I hope all the details are shared so that we can all carefully avoid doing the same to those music industry bas...s-fishing executives.

While I am not against AI as a tool, this person being a tool with AI generated slop remixes everywhere as a hustle is not approve.

Got greedy
