Forgive me for being a cynic, however this entire saga looks like a beautiful technique to drum up publicity, particularly contemplating Ghostwriter simply occurred to drop one other AI observe, this time mimicking Travis Scott. The AI Drake track “Coronary heart on My Sleeve” was a neat occasion trick, positive, however appears unlikely to actually be thought-about for an award. It completely sounded prefer it may very well be a Weeknd and Drake observe, however that does not imply it was anyplace close to the very best track of the 12 months.
What it has been profitable in, nevertheless, was drumming up controversy. After an outrage at utilizing AI to imitate actual artists, the observe received pulled from Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, and Tidal.
“The coaching of generative AI utilizing our artists’ music (which represents each a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright regulation) in addition to the supply of infringing content material created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the query as to which facet of historical past all stakeholders within the music ecosystem need to be on: the facet of artists, followers and human inventive expression, or on the facet of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,” a UMG spokesman informed Billboard on the time.
Certain, it is an enormous long-shot the AI-generated track will win a Grammy — however clearly if it did, it will make a lot of of us very sad.
