  Considering another skater is getting called out for copyright problems when she did her due diligence to clear rights — you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

    So to avoid that situation they are using AI generated music, made by an AI which is trained on unlicensed music because the AI companies don’t give a crap. Nice.

    The “must hate on ai” train is to thick here to understand such subtleties as licensing and rights restrictions. Ironic isnt it

    is classical music good for skating? they could have used that

      And then the orchestra that recorded it would possibly sue them for copyright infringement. Just because the sheet music is out of copyright doesn’t mean the recording is.

      Maybe they could dig through some old 78s or hire a piano player to work around that.

      There’s a theme, it was 90’s music.

  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.

    they didn’t want to pay for it. it’s expensive to license music

      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.

      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.

  Why even skate? Just generate a video of it.

  Too bad there’s no ruling against that. The Olympic committee are just gonna let it slide like the spineless puddles of too they are.

    Of all the things to get passed at the committee for 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Ahhh yes. Fuck AI, instead we should make teenagers pay licensing fees if they want any chance of achieving their dream. This is a problem solely created by corporate assholes who want to make a buck.

  A ~2mn part of the Olympics opening ceremony had an AI video so I don’t think the IOC would even care 🤷‍♂️

  Regardless of how people feel about AI, it is here.

  Regardless of ethics and morals, it is not going to go away.

    Regardless of how people feel, the Nazis are here

    Regardless of ethics and morals, they are not going to go away.

    Regardless of how people feel about it, polio is here

    Regardless of ethics and morals, it is not going to go away.

    You could insert pretty much anything we’ve done away with into that sentence.

  Nobody but nerds who want to screech cared or noticed.
