On a regular basis we step nearer to our demise. We’ve all been upset about AI—at the very least, individuals who care about creativity and particular person rights to IP—however the way in which it’s affecting the music trade 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 an entire lot of others do. In accordance with Woodland, this pretend 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 subject 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 surprising, 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 consider we are able to solely foyer for transparency now. These artists ought to have “AI” on their Spotify art work, in order that playlists can’t sneak them onto playlists. In any other case, violently help 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 not possible to copy Chess robots have been beating human world champions for 30 years now. ‘Get good’ is a petulant opinion.”
How idiotic the audacity should be to inform an precise musician to make BETTER music so AI doesn’t steal extra of it. What within the precise fuck?
