In case you're forgetting, the IFPI - the international organization representing record labels - has its roots in Italian Fascism. So, yes, record labels should never be considered heroes by anyone. They're extortionist, rent-seeking organizations. They act like a sort of institutionalized and legal Mafia for the music industry. Nevertheless...:

"AI is cutting a swath across a number of creative industries — with AI-generated book covers, the Chicago Sun-Times publishing an AI-generated list of books that don’t exist, and AI-generated stories at CNET under real authors’ bylines. The music industry is no exception. But while many of these fields are mired in questions about whether AI models are illegally trained on pirated data, the music industry is coming at the issue from a position of unusual strength: the benefits of years of case law backing copyright protections, a regimented licensing system, and a handful of powerful companies that control the industry.

Record labels have chosen to fight several AI companies on copyright law, and they have a strong hand to play.

Historically, whatever the tech industry inflicts on the music industry will eventually happen to every other creative industry, too. If that’s true here, then all the AI companies that ganked copyrighted material are in a lot of trouble."

Altri esperimenti (inutili) con la #musica generata (leggasi "rubata legalmente") da un #AI

Ho creato un testo casuale in inglese con Duck.AI e dato in pasto ad un altro software che genera musica: #udio che è un po' sofisticato

Creato due spezzoni di musica #progressive #rock stile #symphonic, che carico qui

Ha clonato pure la voce di #JonAnderson degli #Yes (che SICURAMENTE hanno usato per l'addestramento) è incredibile quanto è paraculo il collage

#AI #GenerativeAI #Suno #Udio #Copyright #Music #IP: "Both sets of cases pose novel questions for the courts, including whether the law should make exceptions for AI's use of copyrighted material to create something new. The record labels' cases, which could take years to play out, also raise questions unique to their subject matter - music.

The interplay of melody, harmony, rhythm and other elements can make it harder to determine when parts of a copyrighted song have been infringed compared to works like written text, said Brian McBrearty, a musicologist who specializes in copyright analysis."

No, I can't endorse anything to do with #GenAI #chatgpt #udio etc. bullshit in it, nor in good conscience engage with content generated by it.

Whatever fantastic results you may get were paid for by exploited creators and a dying planet.
And there's no 'ethical' option here, really: Even if you actually train your own little homegrown platform and feed it exclusively with content you made yourself, just to remix your own creative work (why...?!), even then you're still consuming vast amounts of energy in the process anyway + producing heat that this planet doesn't need.

Eindeutig eines meiner Lieblingslieder, die ich mit der zugehörigen App bei der #UDIO AI in Auftrag gegeben habe:

Gestern Abend noch gebastelt, statt schlafen zu gehen.

Prinzipiell ist der zusammkuratierte Track aber zum Runterkommen zwischendurch geeignet, glaub ich.

Anweisung an die #UDIO AI (via Suno App):

Schreibe einen epischen symphonic Metal Song über eine vergessene Brotdose im Schulranzen, deren Inhalt während der Ferien zu neuem Leben erwacht.

#AI #GenerativeAI #Copyright #Udio #Suno #IP: "The most interesting part of the lawsuits is that the record labels claim they were able to repeatedly replicate versions of incredibly famous songs that they hold the copyright to, and many of these are included and linked to in the lawsuit. A sample of them is shown here alongside the prompts, in a video I made from specific examples in the lawsuits:

There are two separate lawsuits. The record labels, which include Universal Music Group, Capitol Records, Atlantic Records, Warner Music, and Sony Music, Industry Association of America sued Udio in New York and sued Suno in Massachusetts, where the companies are headquartered. The general contours of the lawsuits are the same, though the record labels make slightly different claims in different parts of each lawsuit. The record labels claim that neither AI music generator will say which music it has trained its models on, but said that in pre litigation communications, both companies claimed that their training on copyrighted material is “fair use.” The record labels are also suing a series of “John Does,” who they claim are the specific people who helped the companies scrape the music.

The lawsuits set up a major court battle about the nature of generative AI services that recreate not just music but also art, video, and text."

Vorletzte Sendung stellte ich in der @freakshow Suno.con vor. Wie nicht anders zu erwarten sprießen jetzt erste Alternativen aus dem Boden, ziemlich eindrucksvoll ist dabei udio.com - hier gehen schon ganze Songs und komplexere „Regieanweisungen“:

#Copyright #AI #GenerativeAI #GeneratedMusic #Music #Udio: "It’s not my intention in this article to highlight examples of regurgitation of copyrighted material, with a view to suggesting this regurgitation constitutes copyright infringement. The question that is much more important than regurgitation, in my view, is what models like Udio’s are trained on.

There are many people, myself included, who think that training generative AI models on copyrighted work without permission at all constitutes copyright infringement, whether material from the training set is regurgitated in the output or not.

When likenesses to copyrighted music show up in the outputs of AI music generation systems, there are generally three possibilities: either it is chance (this is of course not impossible), or the systems were trained on copyrighted music with licenses to do so, or they were trained on copyrighted music without licenses in place.

If the models used in Udio’s product are trained on copyrighted work, it is possible they have licenses in place with rightsholders that permit them to train on the copyrighted work whose likenesses are found in these examples.

However, if Udio doesn’t have licenses in place for training, many may see this as an issue." https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/yes-udios-output-resembles-copyrighted-music-too/

#KI-basierte Musik-Generatoren werden immer besser. Im Vergleich zu #suno legt #udio noch eine Schippe drauf – mit ausgefeilter grafischer Oberfläche und einem großen Gratis-Kontingent. Ein Massenphänomen könnte daraus werden, sobald eine App wie TikTok oder YouTube sowas als Feature implementiert.

Hier zu Testzwecken ein Blues:
