[@vintagemusic-y7z]

People have been learning music from others people's music for all time. This is nothing new. I learned to play guitar by learning to play other people's songs. It is how it works. AI is no different. Just better at learning it and applying it. And, it will only get better at it.

[@ratatatuff]

@@vintagemusic-y7z No, that's not how it works. I learnt guitar by learning scales, chords, arpeggios, theory, etc. AI is just talking parts of other people's work and puts it together a little bit different. The element of creativity is completely absent. AI is basically just theft.

[@vintagemusic-y7z]

You are simplifying it way too much. And your telling me you never played a song while learning your instrument? Ludicrous. I also learned scales etc. just like songwriters learn to write songs by listening to other songs. There is a formula that works. There are standard chord progressions that work. All music is theft to a certain extent. People transcribe the playing of great musicians they look up to and learn from that, those musicians learned by sitting in front of the ones they loved and stole from them . I understand the arguments. People are upset that a computer can create a great sounding song with a trumpet solo that sounds fully improvised and not a note for note ripoff of anything. AI learns how that works by listening to others. Just as jazz musicians have done since the beginning of the genre.

[@ratatatuff]

@@vintagemusic-y7z Learn to read. There's a difference between AI & Jazz musicians: creativity and feel. No, not all music is theft. That's just what the pop industry wants you to believe.

[@vintagemusic-y7z]

Everything in music has been built on the backs of those that came before it. That is all I am saying. You don't have to call it theft and just call it inspiration. I have heard and generated some very impressive music on suno that has all the feel you could want in it. I see the day in the not too distant future that some musicians will be out of a job when it comes to advertising and some other television cues business. An ad agency could I put their jingles lyrics and get a nice piece of music for a fraction of the cost of licensing it. That sucks but the genie is out of the bottle. Every iteration of the AI will get better at fooling us all. I don't like arguing. I can certainly see your side. I work with an AI at my job that is being trained on our data. It gets smarter every day. Quite an amazing tool.

@@zvoidx the lyrics were AI was well and there is already a case where and artist combined work with AI and the government wouldn’t allow the copyright.

@@zvoidx Tech is moving too fast for the laws to keep up. You can copyright your lyrics true, but the combination of AI and human-made hasn't been breached yet. I'm working on a project that I'm writing and using AI so I've been keeping a close eye on this. What this guy is suggesting is reckless and could cause problems down the line. He's not the first one to think all he has to do is let the computer write it for him and he can just cash in. But the case I'm referring to was with a piece of visual art that was both AI and human. Top music attorney's channel covered it I think. She's been doing deeper dives into the legal ramifications of AI since there's also a concern as to who this music is using to model itself after.

[@AiDIYTECH]

I've been looking at the rulings and there's a lot of grey space around this. Off the top of my head, it says something like "If created with no human interaction". But as soon as a human prompts the ai, you have human interaction. Not only that, but in my case, normally when I produce a song, I do a lot of work on the lyrics after I get my initial results.

[@AiDIYTECH]

This is the dream for me. I've been experimenting with ways to modify the vocals in other ai tools and eventually I'll do something about that in a video. But for now, we've got what we've got.

Think of it like Alvin and the Chipmunks for the modern era-AI characters with unique personalities, like Suno and Udio, who bring something fun and different to the music scene. It’s all about expanding our musical horizons, not limiting them. Great insights in the video!

@@AiDIYTECH yes there is, on copyright dot gov they have faqs that explain their decision, and they detail that it has to be created by a human, and that prompting is not considered created by a human because copyright gov interprets the final production to be still all created by the ai. So they detail that what the human has created is the only part that can be copyrighted. So say you wrote the lyrics ,and prompted ai to do the music, you will fill that out on the copyright form, and the copyright office will approve copyright for the lyrics, but the music will not be copyrighted, but it will be noted to be ai created. So, in effect, you are listed to be the copyright owner for the lyrics part of the song. I have no idea how something like that can be marketed; all the same, since streaming pays garbage, in a way, it doesn't matter, as we are now giving away our labor in essence. Still if you endeavor to put this on spotify, it is better to take the ai music, and use it as inspiration to create your own, then you can claim ownership on the music as well. Still, you are working to get $0.003 per stream, and as of now, Spotify is not paying anything at all to artists who have less than 1,000 streams per month. So, as of April 2024, any song you put on Spotify will get you $0 each and ever month you have less than 1,000 streams. Those streams do not accumulate each passing month, but reset at 0 each new month, so it even more has become a losing effort to make money as an artist. And now this ai strategy to flood streaming platforms already flooded may cause other platforms to copy spotify to pay $0 if streams are less than 1,000, effectively making music as a profession, a joke due to massive saturation.

[@handyandyradio]

I released a few demos with Suno with lyrics I wrote myself. I'm honestly not satisfied with not producing the songs myself, at least partly. Currently working on producing new versions that use much more of my own touch. Some AI will be used, mostly with vocals because I hate my own voice. But I really want my own touch to the music, beyond the lyrics. AI should not be used for creating serious productions, at least not entirely. It's one thing to use some AI but still have your own touch to it, but to just have computers do it all and then release it as art is just soulless and stupid. I have some AI songs on my channel, yes, but those were just created as a gag. It's pop country with lyrics about Information Technology. But I'm not making money off of royalties with those.

Suno is superb at lyrics. You are obviously not prompting universal subject matters. The one criticism is that it usually includes the genre in the lyrics so I regenerate after editing this out in the custom lyrics.

Yooo buddy you only want to keep lyrics in the lyrics spot.

Only use 6 to blend.. and think of words outside of the box to create a killer song..suno is not that good at all to use , try Donna..hmu any help u need im jimi check my music out you'll c I no what im talking about lol

You wont make any money. Music money is based off buys, streaming royalties pays nothing. You can have a streaming song with a million streams and only get 50 dollars from it, good luck trying to hit those numbers.

[@toddaway]

I wonder about the legalities. Udio generated a song for me with a voice that sounded exactly like Johnny Cash. I love the result, but it just seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen since his voice is so unique. Kind of like the whole OpenAI and Scar Jo controversy.

Hi, thanks for the question. Yes, I do have ChatGpt4 and it is a paid version. But you can try other free generation tools. Midjourney is great but you need to use it through their Discord.

[@rifsz]

@@AiDIYTECH Thanks for your reply, can I ask for Royalties if my song is sing by an AI , but the lyrics are mine?

[@AiDIYTECH]

It's such a grey area right now. The legislation was really focused on image creation when it comes to what is considered "yours". But it doesn't limit it to just image creation. It broadly says something like "If no human interaction in your art". But other than this song, I've done things to more than just the lyrics. I've done some audio editing and enhancements. So even though the music is sung by and the instruments are played by ai, there's still a lot of involvement on my part. Spotify and the music publishers don't ask and don't seem to care if ai have a hand in your production. So go ahead and ask for payments. It takes a long time to build up a payment though. Fractions of a cent on every play.

[@dagga07]

@@AiDIYTECH the reason they let you is so they can later sue you for a lot of money. spotify doesnt care if your music is legal or not as its not them at risk. you wont get royalties please check out Top music Attorneys youtube channel to see that you are giving out the wrong information.

[@dagga07]

@@rifsz you can get royalties if you wrote the lyrics. you will get the writers proportion of the royalties but you will not get any for the singer portion as you are not the singer. if the singer is A.I then nobody gets the singers portion of the royalties.

​@@ratatatuffit won't be zero coz if you do the right lyrics you going to attract many people even if it's done with AI as long as all the lyrics you write yourself and the sound is right you will get royalty from any music streamer so some of the real artist made their money it's time for normal people to make some extra income so they can buy some nice stuff as well as normal people made rich the artist people as they are still lessening to their favorite artist like I do with Eminem I grow up with him and I will still lessen to him until I die anyway to future is here everyone should embrace it as it will get bigger in the next 5 years alot bigger 😊

[@AiDIYTECH]

Sorry to come to this a bit late. I was having a chat to a friend of mine last night about this topic. He's been in a band and writes his own music etc. Nobody ever said you can't copywrite AI music. From my understand, nobody has done it yet. There's nothing saying you can't do it. And for sure, you absolutely protect the lyrics that you write. Totally happy to be told otherwise. But what good would the music be without the words?

[@wolveswithoutteeth]

@@AiDIYTECH…of course AI can generate the words also. I guess it depends on your prompts to the AI engine.

[@dagga07]

​@AiDIYTECH check out Top music Attorney youtube channel, she explains that courts have ruled that you cannot Copyright A.i created work. Prompting a.i. is not enough to classify it as your own work. Also you cannot collect royalties from a.i. music and what ever you create will be public domain so anyone else can use it. Best place to get your info in this case is the music Attorneys. You clearly used chat gpt for lyrics too so they cannot be Copyright protected either. If you register it as your own work you are breaking current laws.

[@steviesfv7782]

Use mickey mouse creation, get mickey mouse results. Performance Rights ORganizations (ASCAP, BMI, SEASAC etc…) do not collect royalties on anything the US Copyright Office will not register which includes AI generated music or songs. They have their own AI's that instantly can detect if it is AI generated. Aside from Spotify usage there is no money. Anyone is free to rip-off your "masterpiece" . If you try to submit for media usage or licensing and it gets flagged, you can be sued for damages. A simple "sound-a-like" track cost its "content creator" $500k and they slapped a lien on his house faster than you can click your mouse.

[@dagga07]

if you do that you will probably be sued for a lot of money first by suno as they say you cannot use any music you generate if you only have a free account. second distrokid because you cannot register music with them if you dont own it. andyou cannot own it as you cannot copyright a.i. generated work.

[@AiDIYTECH]

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I did read the terms a while back. I believe with Suno, if you have a paid subscription, it's yours and they mentioned that you don't have to credit. But say something along the lines of "But it would be nice". (Terms change, so have a look). The free version, they require you to give them credit.

[@sirrobinofloxley7156]

@@AiDIYTECH The credit is in the watermark, having a free account and not crediting them, for instance downloading an audio file from them, would be poor form. As for 'Muh ownership' and all that gibberish, they may have legal title, but as for equitable title, they can't make without clients. Obviously SONY et al are going to take judges on vaykay with their 'advocats', in bikinis, and sometimes not, but as to whether they'd be right would merely be their opinion. Let's say the tech wasn't wrapped up in iron clad monopoly world, and people had genuine means to freely express, using SUNO, how much are they going to make when they're a literal household name. Jack and Jane from down the lane could host their own original parties for free, using music they've created, why would you want to spoil Jack and Jane's fun just because of the money? If there's means to make, super, and when there's means to offset it with fame, then even superer. Look at charities, their basic idea was to help people freely, look at the size now of that industry, it's a no brainer. Sure, if you have servers to pay for etc, then yeah, you need to balance the books, but when your like Samsung, and have $300 trillion that you don't know what to do with, then it's time to do the right thing. SUNO sponsored by Samsung for a better world?
