Comment on An ice dance duo skated to AI music at the Olympics | TechCrunch

The theme for the event was “90s music.” As a 90s kid, I just… shake my head. There’s so much good music to choose from that decade, and yet they chose to make AI slop instead.

I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed.

  This is the comment and argument everyone should be making about this. They wouldn’t be using an AI song in the first place if it weren’t for corporate greed, the usual villain behind the mask.

    and they stole the music to train the ai as well.

  Or, they could have reached out to indie bands in their genre of choice. I’ve no doubt there are tons of small bands out there who would love having their work used in the Olympics, it’d be one of the rare “do it free/cheap for the exposure” deals that might be actually worth it.
  
  But that’d take a little bit more work than jerking off the theft slop machine, so fuck it, right?

So youve never yeard of licensing then.
