    Wall Street Journal:

    A coalition of record-label and artist groups is pushing streaming giants to label music generated with artificial intelligence, as the industry grapples with how AI is changing the business.

    The group said it plans to work with streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music to add labels on tracks indicating when AI was used to produce them. AI usage is flagged voluntarily by artists, record labels and distributors.

    This is a good thing. I feel like I’m constantly wondering “is this AI” when I find a new artist..

    Whether you're for or against AI generated music, I think we can all agree that there's no downside to labeling it as such/no reason to not disclose. If someone who uses AI to create music is against that transparency, that really tells you all you need to know.

    I'd love to meet someone who's for AI music. Want to see if I can check their brain for worms.

    Flagging AI usage shouldn't be voluntary.
