With the utmost respect, none of this justifies the use of AI in music or the creation and promotion of AI artists. And this isn’t the introduction of a new medium like photography… there’s a massive difference between the introduction of a new tool and the replacement of creators. No one ever tried to promote a camera as the artist, and you’ll never see a photograph in a museum where the tag reads “canon” instead of an artists name. That parallel doesn’t hold water and only fuels the detrimental rhetoric that could ultimately take away the type of magic you’ve spent a magnificent career creating and fostering.

its not about adapting - its about the creators of the actual music having no say no backend on what theyve created. did any artist get a cut of the warner deal?

There are companies out there that have algorithms that will find out what stuff was trained from and Sue whoever doesn’t have ethically trained models pretty simple it’s happening soon -oh

This is just…sad.
Prince warned us about all this, and you all still haven’t taken heed. We’re going to live to see the day where human output will no longer have value.

It’s easy for you to say all this at this point in your career @timbaland. The issue isn’t the technology, it’s the unethical implementation of that technology unfolding in real time. And guess who it’s hurting the most? Independent artists who are already fighting an uphill battle to be heard. The reality is the vast majority of users “creating” music on Suno and similar apps right now are typing a short prompt, having AI generate a full song in seconds, and uploading it to streaming platforms. They are being given first dibs in the algorithm simply because more frequent releases equal an algorithmic boost. It is not humanly possible to write, record, produce, mix, and master a song in five seconds and there is no competing with that as a human being. The “artists” creating music this way are being misleading and dishonest because they are not being truthful about how the music was made. They are deceiving people into believing they wrote and produced the songs themselves. It is unethical and it harms the people who actually put in the work. Because they are gaming the system and being pushed heavily in the algorithm, they are taking away what little income still exists for independent artists. This is not about AI as a tool, this is about people using it irresponsibly and dishonestly and it is already making it harder for human artists to be heard and to survive. I know you have a product to sell here, but I am telling you firsthand that it is severely affecting the livelihoods of actual human artists. And honestly, I wonder what your younger self before the money and fame would say about all this because I don’t think he would look at it the same way you do today.

you’re still missing the most basic point which is that art was always and should always remain a human form of expression. it’s not even just about money. it’s about turning on a song you love and knowing it was created by another human. good music and humanity are inseparable

Man the over saturation of an already over saturated market is the scariest part to me lol I be having random people texting me talking “I got over 300 mixed and mastered songs I got ready to put out right now!” Because they discovered AI last week 😂😂
