Andrew Southworth: We Need To Talk About AI Music

AI music from Suno and Udio have gotten insanely good, good enough to pass as human made.

Before you comment, let me clarify my viewpoints on this:
1. This technology is going to exist no matter what we do, we need to learn how it works and figure out how tools like this can help us as music creators.
2. Someone needs to create a system that properly compensates artists who are used in training data, and it needs to be opt-in only. Nobody should be used as training data without their permission.
3. Governments need to act fast to impose laws for how music is used in training data. Not everyone will follow these laws, but they should still exist.
4. This isn't going to replace artists. Don't panic. Fans want to connect with real artists doing cool things and people mass uploading AI music can't replace that (at least not soon). This will however likely screw over a lot of artists making more templated music such as lofi, meditation music, corporate background music etc.
