Artists have a totally valid argument that gen-AI is built on their work and it's a form of property infringement. They have every right to fight this. At the same time, I'm not convinced government intervention will be effective in wrangling this freight train. It’s left the station.
In the long run, people will decide. And if AI-generated music takes over the world and dominates every mainstream way of listening to music, that’s on us. And no, it’s not a fair fight, which is why I think any attempt to level the playing field is reasonable.
But laws alone aren’t the answer. We need more tools to enable creative work outside the mainstream. And my optimistic side still thinks there’s some kid out there who’ll figure out how to master these new tools to make incredible, original music. I’d like to give ourselves the best chance to see that happen.
