AI generated music should be against the terms and what we decided to pay for.

AI generated music should be against the terms and what we decided to pay for.
- dmix 2y agoSpotify can't tell the difference. You're not going to be forced to upload an Ableton project and video of you recording the instruments. AI music usually is heavily processed and arranged by a human anyway, it's not yet like pushing a button (if you want to get listens). At most it's the 'artists' self-admission of copyright via stuff like Distrokid + some automated analysis for sample royalties. So likewise AI at most will just be a checkbox they'll choose to ignore during that process just like people who repost other artists music.
- abrookewood 2y agoI think you are missing the point. The criticism is that Spotify are actually using third parties to create AI generated music in order to pay lower royalties. There was an article in the last month or so on HN that explained the process.
- crtasm 2y agoThere were recent articles about musicians being employed to churn out tracks, are you thinking of that? https://harpers.org/archive/2025/01/the-ghosts-in-the-machine-liz-pelly-spotify-musicians/ https://harpers.org/archive/2025/01/the-ghosts-in-the-machin... ctrl+f "summer afternoon in Brooklyn"
