Make It Fair. Don’t let AI steal our music

News Flash: You didn't write anything. You prompted an AI model that was trained illegally on real writers' work. You stole, you accomplished nothing, and you stopped the forward growth of your own intellect. You failed.

Many AIM members rely on Downtown companies - FUGA, CD Baby, Curve, others - to distribute, monetise and promote their/artists' music. The effect of UMG's attempting to buy Downtown should not be downplayed - with many independents suddenly being tied to their biggest competitor.

AI scraping music to pump out knockoff slop isn’t innovation , it’s theft. Full support to the class action against Suno & Udio. Independent artists, producers, songwriters, go get them.

Such hubris must be held to account. "Demis Hassabis...the CEO of Google DeepMind, said...he hopes that AI will be able to solve important scientific problems and help “cure all disease” within 5 to 10 years." Note the legal evasions from fraud - the use of "hopes" & "help"

“A force for good”? Based on what evidence? We now have studies showing that generative AI is not curing cancer, not improving education, and absolutely not acting in the public interest when it comes to creative industries. On the contrary, it’s enabling plagiarism at scale,

Hey Google Google DeepMind I have a question. What was the training data? Did you just scrape the world’s cultural output without consent to train your AI monkey? If so, that’s some very dark monkey business. Please stop. It’s blocking the sun.

Such a long post just to say they’re laying off employees with families in the name of “AI first” and wrecking the freelance economy (there are studies with real data that already shows that ChatGPT has been destroying it for months by the way). They’re ruining the platform for

how do you have a creative summit without creators

Let me rephrase this: EU, worried about losing the AI race to an unregulated, immoral & humanity-enfeebling US tech sector, decides the best course of action is to abandon its core principles & follow the US into darkness. Reminder: winning a race to the bottom = losing.

So, an AI “band” who cite us as an influence (ie, it’s modelled off our music) have just overtaken us on Spotify, in only TWO months. It’s shocking, it’s disheartening, it’s insulting - most importantly - it’s a wake up call. Oppose AI music, or bands like us stop existing.

part of what I find so offensive about these gen AI videos is the fact that there is actually SO MUCH TO WATCH in the world. So many incredible works of art across film and theater and television -- and so much of it is more readily accessible than ever before. So why slop?

Crazy how openAI casually breaks the law to achieve their goals & pretends it's all an innocent little mistake, banning prompts to "fix" a problem they intentionally created & hiding behind users. Then the audacity to tell copyright holders they have the opportunity to opt out.

As this person says further down, the false promise of AI is that kids can learn and acquire skills without effort. But that's not how learning has ever worked, and the danger now is that the current generation of students will have no skills and know nothing.

Copyrighted music is showing up in Sora videos without people even asking for it.

The AI future is here! Undress anyone with AI — no consent needed! Steal trademarked IP like Spider-Man with ease! Laws & morals are for Luddites!!

Every single film on the "Best 100 Films in History" was made without AI. If you think AI is the "next step" or "a natural progression" or "necessary to filmmaking now," you have no idea what filmmaking is.

After the Sora's opt-out disaster, how can we use machines to police machines and protect IP and copyright? How can we use neural fingerprinting to detect genAI music and trace the attribution? SoundPatrol (born out of Stanford's AI Lab), detect derivative work even when a

This new paper from Google, showing how AI helped develop a cancer therapy pathway, is great. And it is more proof that you don’t need to train AI on the world’s creative work to get the benefits of AI in science. Because the model wasn’t trained on the world’s creative work. It
