How AI-Generated Music Became A $4 Billion Fraud Machine (Forbes, 5/5)

3. That 85% is an indication that most of those AI tracks were generated for fraudulent purposes, not

generated by people who actually care about music.

Which is something I've mentioned here about AI slop images and YouTube videos - that the subjects of that AI slop might mean little or absolutely nothing to the AI users or content farms generating it. It's just clickbait, usually with bots adding to the views. 404 Media found bot responses often dominating comments on AI slop on Facebook, and the same is likely true with YouTube.

The lawsuit from the book publishers you mentioned recently is going to be a big bellwether on the front against the AI companies themselves, but if that case is lost?

With an issue like AI companies' theft of intellectual property, the legal fight won't go away for any time at all short of a SCOTUS decision, and then it will return as soon as there's any change in SCOTUS. We're all aware that there have been terrible Supreme Court decisions that must be overturned. A ruling in favor of the AI companies on this would be one of them.
