AI Music Generator Suno Admits It Was Trained on ‘Essentially All Music Files on the Internet’ (www.404media.co)

"Suno’s training data includes essentially all music files of reasonable quality that are accessible on the open internet."

"Rather than trying to argue that Suno was not trained on copyrighted songs, the company is instead making a Fair Use argument to say that the law should allow for AI training on copyrighted works without permission or compensation."

UMG can go to hell. Musicians already make almost next to nothing from song sales because the labels take so much.

Yeah but the fucking labels aren't even being that resistant to AI. AI is robbing the labels a little, and the artists a lot. It's like how in 1984 george orwell points out the proletariat and the middle class should be allies, but the middle class always installs itself as the upper class and leaves the proletariat behind. The labels are willing to ditch the artists so long as they get to stay in one of the upper two classes. So they're willing to sell access to their back catalog and their lost masters to the AI companies so long as that pays them a little bit better than paying out for new artists to join the label. They're the fucking overseers or the small whites in Haiti. They hurt the people they should be working with because they're too short sighted to see what's gonna happen once everything shakes out. And you're over here rooting the AI robbery on because it will hurt the labels instead of realizing who it's REALLY gonna hurt
