100% And if they are found to have not declared the AI status, the band must be blacklisted forever and sentenced to 500 hours of community service.

maybe not royalties, but you can bet they'd find a way to monetise an ai hit. not if you or i did it, but if fat cat mcfattycattyface did.

How would you know it was included in the charts unless it was known to be AI? Therefore, yes, include it, so people know how to avoid it, or follow their new overlords.bermudagold wrote: Mon Sep 01, 2025 12:45 amI cant tell if this sarcasm...or you thought the title said "EXcluded" lolmorelia wrote: Mon Sep 01, 2025 12:34 am 100% And if they are found to have not declared the AI status, the band must be blacklisted forever and sentenced to 500 hours of community service.

Well, there's still a set of skills required: knowing what has hit potential, and loads of marketing to make that happen.VOODOO U wrote: Mon Sep 01, 2025 3:41 am Are you telling me even though I have zero skills with writing music I can have a hit song on the billboard charts using A.I.????
Good luck with that.

Nobody has skills to know what has hit potential. They'd be the richest person on earth if they knew that. You just gotta open yourself up to let the demons speak through you and let it go. If it speaks to thousands, it was supposed to.BertKoor wrote: Mon Sep 01, 2025 10:09 am Well, there's still a set of skills required: knowing what has hit potential,

It's passion that keeps people sharp. There's no competitiveness without being passionate.

Billboard has nothing to do with creativity or quality. It is about how successful a marketing campaign has been, and is then itself used as further marketing. So it seems depressingly logical that the thing that charts money generation would also include AI generated products.
People like that who are “making” AI music are playing the roll of an actual artist’s natural predator: the parasitic record exec. The exec decides what rip off / regurgitation / or crapification of other songs they want this time, then tells whoever else they are exploiting to actually make it. If the first version is rejected then more are made until the exec thinks a viable product (or effective tax write off) has been delivered. The end result goes through the marketing process and is stuffed into the ears of a generic audience as the audio equivalent of fast food. The execs make money and artists get screwed. With AI they can now eliminate every actual talented/creative person from the entire process, and anyone with a computer can pretend to be the self important parasite while also calling themselves an artist.
Real artists will always find creative uses for anything we can get our hands on. That is just who we are and how we see and interact with the world, and we’ll do that with AI stuff too. However, the golden age of commercial art - in all forms - is over. There will still be an audience for hand crafted music from actual creative people, but it will be the same as with those who dig real visual art. It will be a niche subset of people who can tell the difference and appreciate it. The general public won’t give a damn about what we do anymore and will likely see it as archaic waste of time. They might like the results if/when they hear it, but to them the source is irrelevant and they tend not to recognize creativity let alone care about it. They just want their catchy distraction, dopamine hit and, perhaps more than anything, yet another path to generic conformity.

I believe that all governments in the world should hand over the reigns to AI. That everyone should use AI for all of their daily tasks. Eventually the Earth will be made unfit for the maintenance of human life so the only natural solution is to construct pods to live in and use your biometrics as a battery to power the AI. It is inevitable, resistance is futile.
