They should be required to make the title of every “””song””” be; AI Generated: Made From Stolen Work. The album art should be a black background with white text saying; AI Generated: Made From Stolen Work. Anything less and it’s just trying to pass slop off as something more.

I mean, you train entire generations to just have things spoonfed to them from the almighty algorithm, and this is one net result.
Music discovery used to be a process, and it was a social endeavour. Friends would suggest something or force you to listen to it, and -- in my case -- it was almost always wrong. But there was still the social experience.
As someone who rarely listens to music with lyrics, I want to draw my own conclusions and emotions, not some slop that I could have written in sixth grade as a terrible English student.
While Neigsendoig Cocules (whom I edited videos for) and I had used generative AI for album covers in the past (mostly Neigsendoig, though), we always disclose that for ethics reasons. That said, why we would want to use AI to make music is beyond us. I'd rather us be challenged to actually make something using our own brains and knowledge of music theory than let AI do it. It's good if you're stuck and need some ideas as a tool, but that's the extent of it.
On the way to the world of "Carole and Tuesday" where all music is composed by AI and owned by big corporations, so it becomes nearly impossible for a small artist to enter the market. And that show didn't even really cover how now literally every chord that is pleasant to human ears can be not only copyrighted, but they'll know exactly what songs and how to sue every single independent artist for copyright infringement and it will be totally legal if not very ethical. There will be no legal songs outside of one or two corporations.
This is just a compromise that still allows people who used Generated-AI to make money without putting any effort. Mildly related but I hate how people praise Gabe doing this to Steam which is just a half-ass solution, at the very least just blacklist games that has been reported to used Generated-AI to hold game studio accountable.
