  How tf did this Ponze Scheme even get as far as the UK Prime Minister’s desk?

    It’s not a Ponzi scheme. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s a scam and even if it was a scam that wouldn’t be the type of scam that it was.

    Absolute worst you could call it is false advertising, because AI does actually work just not very well.

      A company that makes negative income every quarter forever, and whose latest edition costs a magnitude more power and is worse than the previous, is worth between $150 Bn and $300 Bn. Many other competing companies equally overvalued.

      These are businesses who are only valuable because people keep investing in them. A Ponzi Scheme.

  Please, save the copyright industry! If using these for AI isnt made ridiculously expensive, we will never be able to build a proper monopoly on top of this tech!

  They get popular artists to sign these things but its the record companies (all three of them) that are really behind this.

  Says the dude who completed a song using AI.

    He used AI to Isolate John’s voice from an old Demo. As long as a percentage of the proceeds of the song goes to John’s estate, I don’t think it’s quite the same as AI ripping off artists.

      No it isn’t but I still refuse to choose on purpose to listen to that song. I don’t even know the name.

  I wonder how they decided which artist to include in the thumbnail image.

    Moneys decided it. No one is going to click on a image for a old wrinkly white guy

  Paul McCartney and Dua Lipa should release a song together.

  • GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Don’t worry, if they don’t you can just use ai to make them.

    Don’t Let Me Down, Just Don’t Start Now

  I’m plenty open to questioning every part of copyright (has the idea ever actually been proven to be worth the enormous costs?) but the same copyright should apply to everbody. It sounds like this proposal gives a specific pass to corporations developing AI - anything these corporations can access should be accessible to the general public as well.

  Well another two idiots that I’ll never listen to. Hey Metallica isn’t alone now

    It’s always the people that fear for their assets that want things to stay the same.

    I find it interesting that people who were pro pirating, are now against AI companies using copyrighted materials.

    Personally, I think copyright was a dumb concept and shouldn’t exist. It’s time we get rid of it.

      You should tell these companies then, because after pirating all the copyrighted information they will absolutely push for IP protections for AI output.

      Slight difference between little Johny torrrenting the latest movie for personal use and an AI company doing it for commercial gain.
