I doubt Warner Brothers was ever actually fighting. They were just holding out for a better deal negotiation for getting into bed with Suno

Thatās what Iāve heard and have been hoping, but it needs to hurry up. Same with a certain someone or two ruining the world.

I absolutely agree. I think this should be the barometer for the discussion and action.

If I had a crystal ball and could predict the future of music, it would be selling merchandise and touring is where money will be made not selling music. I plan to develop unique fan base stuff for my band Pebcap and hope to get a techno following.
A downfall in the making. The only reason these labels exists is from publishing rights of artists they entrapped.
Warner and the others have always played by mob rules.
AI canāt train itself, so the money grab is train models off of music they āownā the rights to.
Cut artists out almost entirely and slap a name and a face on the next boy band and put it up for streaming.
Now with Spotify testing gen AI artists, now would be the best time to hop ship, but keep supporting artists as much as you can by going to shows, copping merch, and buying Bandcamp releases when available.

Iām old enough to remember physical mixtapes being sold at the barber shop and CDs out the trunks of peopleās cars.
Music, like culture, needs and will always find the underground.
Underground for life.

Iām not sure where this quote comes from but it sounds so vapid, youād think AI generated it.
Playing a live show is the best way to fight AI.
I think playing live shows is a good way, but the best way is to find a medium that you can bond with your listener over because there are many people who donāt play live shows, there are many people who canāt play live showsā¦ musicians come in all ages, shapes and sizes and many are not even healthy enough to play live shows as a replacement for selling their artā¦ and of course there are many credible musicians who you would never want to see play a live show if your life depended on itā¦

I currently think the best way to fight AI is to force transparency through legislation.
transparency in every single facet of AI in the process, so that no one can use it to abuse anyone else 1-1, or via a corporation, or record label, or production companyā¦
put a big fat sticker on it, force artist who use it to let people know they used it, force producers who use it to let people know they used it and let god sort out the rest of this bullshitā¦ complete and utter transparencyā¦
then whomever wants to be involved can go over there and be involved and whomever doesnāt want to be can go somewhere else and not be involvedā¦ but put catastrophic end to the masquerading of ā¦
if I order a t-shirt online and somebody on the site starts chatting with me they have to tell you that they are not a real personā¦ do this in every single aspect of the AI process with in music creationā¦ every single library that uses it has to alert the user, every sample pack alert the user, every single Ai breathā¦ and any AI being trained on Anything has to be loud and clear on who they are mimickingā¦ !
if this is enforced wonāt be no problems, hell they can even hire an Ai to do this job i itās too much for them.

Iāll post this video here as well, because it perfectly shows how lines are blurred
And it shows that physical media isnāt the right question anymore, but trust being a casualty like the author said.
āletās not be artificialā
