I found an awesome 80s style cover of one of the Kpop Demon Hunters songs on YouTube. I still like it — but the channel has dozens of videos including 5-6 of any given song, they make more than one a day, and when people ask them to go on Spotify, they say they won’t — which is interesting because Spotify just banned AI generated music. So I’m 99% sure they’re an AI band. My point is, I can’t help liking the song, so I feel like we’re screwed because that could happen to anyone. (FWIW I’ve downloaded the song so I can play it offline. So they don’t make money from my plays.)
So my question is. How do we know? And what can we do?
It’s not weird or dishonest to complain about AI “art”. I want actual human art that has actual meaning or effort put into it, because that’s important to me.
Complaining that AI “art” is bad is one thing, but disliking being tricked by some soulless inauthentic fake “music”, that only sounds real because of how much actual music it has stolen is another thing - and is also a totally reasonable thing to complain about.
I don’t think there’s anything weird or dishonest about wanting human art, personally.
