I'm planning to add the following statement about AI to the forum's Statement of Purpose [View all]

per EarlG's suggestion:

Please do NOT post anything AI-generated, whether music, lyrics, or images/video with a music video. Musicians, like other artists, are fighting for their intellectual property rights and survival as working artists against AI.

I would like to hear what you think.

Btw, I'm also planning to leave the pinned topic about not posting AI on the board as well, and will add to it. We've seen some very important and eloquent arguments against AI from some of our favorite musicians - Jimmy Page's statement recently (see https://www.democraticunderground.com/1034140360 ) was an especially good example - and I'm going to add some of those to that OP, or at least link to threads they're in.

True. There's no good substitute for real musicians and singers. And it's so very sad to see AI peddlers telling AI highplainsdem Mar 19 #5
