Qobuz Rolls Out a Tag to Flag AI-Generated Music
(community.qobuz.com)
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Tagging is the bare minimum.
I don’t care about payouts. If I pay for a streaming service (I do: Apple Music), I don’t care who/how they pay). I do like that they pay more than average, and more than Google and Spotify. But I’m not switching to a service that pays artists more. That costs me the moral superiority to think I have a say in who gets paid what.
But on the flip side, don’t mourn for what they’re losing in royalties. (I know this community isn’t.) Google is paying them. YouTube is basically the leader of AI music. They’re pushing it on everyone. I think they make one of the tools. I’ve been fooled a couple times. But now I’m seeing that this is a trend that YouTube is pushing, so I generally assume something on YouTube is AI generated unless I know it isn’t.
