The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

Is it really credible that

The Big Tech Show

this was completely originally thought up of, with thought inverted quotes, by the AI system?

Or is it far more believable that it's essentially just regurgitated, you know, a slightly mashed up version of the original creative work?

The Big Tech Show

Exactly, exactly.

Danish creators to get rewarded if their music is used in AI-based systems, if the AI-based system is trained on their copyrighted material.

You know, obviously, what you don't want is people doing what happened in that case in Denmark, which is listening to the two outputs where no amount of rational arguments will kind of outweigh the evidence.

And that shouldn't be news to anybody really, because that's been going on, well, as long as the music industry has been around, people are inspired by each other's work.

I was going to say a clear dividing line, maybe not so clear, but definitely a dividing line between inspiration and copying.

If you want to use a sample of somebody or you want to use an element of their song in your work, there's a mechanism for doing that legally.

And that's, that's really, you know, what, what people are saying.

creators, songwriters, most of whom work a second job, you know, because they can't make enough money based on the actual output they're doing.
