The music industry will not like this, seems like a short circuit around royalties and the value of a music deal with an artist.

Guetta is not saying it's the real deal. The creativity, is his usage of the tools available. He could have hired an impersonator, it's the same thing (in my opinion).

Using impersonators has its own issues. e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midler_v._Ford_Motor_Co.

yeah - i wonder if uberduck has paid licenses to any of the rappers voices they have available on their site... they're flouting a sample clip with eminem on their homepage. this just seems like clever marketing to me.

Audio NFT's for the win? ;)

This isn't going to be released commercially, as a very successful artist, he knows that better than most. No record label would release songs without clearing things with the relevant artist. Many artists and DJs don't release live sets/remixes because it would be impossible to clear all the samples, I don't see why this would be any different.

Which artist will be the first to sell a licensed LLM (and other models?) trained on their own discography?

In a way, it's similar to the actors selling their digital images in the movie The Congress. It's inevitable.

wow, not many people have seen this movie. 100%.

What song did Eminem write that he would be owed loyalties for?

His entire discography, the thing that ChatGPT's impersonation of him is based on.

There is a very big difference between putting out a record and playing something at a performance. The latter is a lot more lax.

yup, this could be more like Daft Punk using samples.

My favourite thing about this is how proud he is of copying this idea from a million people on TikTok.

It seems similar to the DJ process though, right? Their creation process involves sampling, mixing, curating, etc. so the novelty is in figuring it out and getting it to work with his set. I’m sure the first person to release a rap record felt proud even though they were copying lots of people who were rapping on the street. The novelty here is being the first dj to do this for his crowd, not that he invented the pro…

All of this is true, I think I made the mistake of assuming some domain knowledge here - he's seen as a bit of a joke character by a lot of people in dance music, largely down to his seeming total lack of self-awareness. In some ways it's actually kinda charming, like here he has a child-like joy at having done this, whereas sometimes it's completely tone-deaf, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEI7oX0XxJw
