A music manager talking about how using AI for lyrics/music could cause copyright infringement. I think there’s one called Suno, which she discusses, and apparently the licensing doesn’t cover commercial uses. Fine for playing around with, but if you intend to publish your music … Cav-AI-t Emptor! (video is just over one minute)

That will definitely be a gray area for quite a while I’m sure. I’d also guess that there will be quite a number of AI companies filing lawsuits in the near future. Wouldn’t surprise me
Suits and counter-suits. More legislation. A never-ending pursuit of nailing down jello. 
While this is very different, it kind of reminds me of the years of lawsuits against bands like Led Zeppelin, for ‘borrowing’ stylistically and even lyrically from the blues musicians that preceded them. Sensing something was ‘done’ that could be perceived as harm (‘theft’), but then having to prove it in court.
Are AI builders putting copyrighted works in the training data, or is the AI ingesting copyrighted material from the internet? How would it know if that’s appropriate or not? ‘Who’ decides? ‘Who’ is the arbiter of truth?
AI is like a dog fetching your slippers; it gets you what you want, without understanding why you want it, what you plan to use it for, or if the usage is even moral/ethical/legal. IMO.
Yes, how else does anyone or anything learn to play music; there are no abstract models to follow unless they are digital copies from human sources. I suppose you could learn an instrument without coming in contact with copyrighted material but no one does that.
Dogs know more than we think they do, they just process and evaluate in a different way. “Are there snacks involved?” I can be bought you know. There’s your arbiter of truth.
Right, there has to be a pattern to replicate. It needs to know what the expectations and ‘rules’ are so it can (try to) ‘improvise’ through Chaos Theory or something.
So that begs an interesting question: What does AI want? Does it require a reward? Does it want something? Does it like something? Is there a mutually beneficial trade-off involved?
Has it been programmed to seek reward through interaction with humans? Is it trying to ‘please’ you, to get some digital Reese’s Pieces when it gets back to the Server Ranch? Why does it do what it does - what’s the payoff? Or is a human (or dog) personification completely irrelevant?
These questions are going to keep me awake tonight.
