Did I hit my head and skipped to april 1st?
I can’t believe this is actually where we are going as a society. You guys want to hear garbage music generated so Carrefour can push their 1+1 fishstick deal on you? What a greaaaaat dystopia.
That’s disgusting. Man, who even wants this? Other than the people getting to fill their pockets. What’s wrong with just having the damn radio on?
Everything to save a buck. The corporations want more money and they don’t care who they hurt in the process
This sounds dystopian in a way.
Nja, sabam is al langer een criminele maffieuze organisatie. Nu er langzaam een werkbaar alternatief is, is een opt out zeer begrijpelijk.
Welcome to the techbro worldview
Better no mudic at all
> Enkel origineel gemaakte muziek kan een uniek emotioneel gevoel geven. Rechtenvrije, generische AI-muziek kan dat niet.
I’m not in favour of robbing Belgian artists of 25% of their regular income through royalties, but let’s not pretend that this is about anything other than economics and money.
Desloovere’s argument that it is impossible for people to feel *real* emotions^TM when listening to AI-generated music is a bunch of crap and he knows it.
> “In die zaak wordt duidelijk aangetoond dat AI-modellen bestaande muziek gebruiken als inspiratiebron. Ons standpunt is dat er auteursrechten betaald moeten worden aan artiesten als hun werk wordt gebruikt om AI muzikaal te trainen.”
This seems like a slippery slope to me. By the same logic, wouldn’t any musician who writes a rock song have to pay royalties to every rock artist before him/her, because people are inspired consciously or subconsciously by previous works of art just as much as an AI-model is. The big advantage of man-made art is that it doesn’t default to the most generic thing possible like AI does, but that’s not a valid argument for Sabam’s position here.
TL;DR: the artists’ economic worries are entirely valid, but Sabam is full of crap when they pretend that this is about “true art”, or anything more than them and their represented artists wanting to retain their income.
