Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform

if i tell you to create a song about a recent breakup i got through, gave you some notes about rhythm and maybe what kind of feel i would like it to have, and then you went ahead and composed the whole song, played all the instruments, provided the vocals, did the mixing and editing and gave me the result, do you think it’s fair to say i made the song?

Same as vocaloid. Or autotune. How far do we go?
Besides, again, who cares. If you like the music, enjoy it, if not, pass.

I care. Clearly so do the people in support of this decision on here as well as bandcamp themselves.

I hope you are familiar with survivorship bias.

how is it like auto tune? auto tune corrects your singing, it doesn’t sing for you.
also, humans care? that’s kind of the entire point of art? we care where art comes from. find the best painter in the world, have them make mona lisa’s exact copy, and see if it sells for even remotely similar price as Mona Lisa’s estimated value which is probably around a billion dollars. anyone can “enjoy” an exact copy, no?
no. we care about art because art tells stories. human stories. computers don’t have stories to tell. they can imitate, but the best it can ever be will be as valuable as an imitation: not much.

What does monetary worth have to do with anything? A photo of the Mona Lisa is an exact replica, you could even make it bigger to appreciate the details better. If what you like is the picture, you can have it. If what you want is speculation and tax write offs, then you need the scarcity.

oh ok, so you’re a bot. there’s no way a human being would think like that. someone programmed a bot to defend genAI.
a bigger photo. Jesus.
