In this video I discuss the topic of the legal aspects around AI-generated music. Is there a difference between AI-generated music and music generated by humans? Short answer: NO!
AI learns just like humans learn. You emulate your musical forefathers and try to create new music based on their influences. There is no difference between AI learning from a pool of music versus a human learning from their predecessors. The results are stunning, as you will see in this Suno.com demo.
This video covers the emotional and rational viewpoints about AI generated music and the legal specifics of copyright infringement. In short: AI leanrs like humans, there is no reason to discount or shun AI-generated music. And, the quality of AI-generated music continues to improve. In this video it is suggested that those criticizing AI are not thinking rationally.
