How are they going to detect the AI music?

We will not tolerate AI-generated music that exploits an individual’s or group’s music, name or likeness, deceives listeners, or diminishes the quality of our service. I think this is a very reasonable approach, and probably also the best way to treat AI-powered copyright infringement as a whole. Ju…

The flood of AI music on their platform is becuase people can make money off it. If you turn off that faucet you stop the flooding.

I think this is also a reason why X has gotten worse. They pay people for engagement.

I'm a Tidal subscriber, something like this is needed. My Tidal "feed" is full of new releases that are clearly AI-generated. They use the same artist name as artists that I really like, but the music is clearly not from the artist as advertised. I have no problem with AI-generated music, I just don't want someone trying to spoof the artists I am interested in.

Spotify is the same. This impersonation ought to be illegal.

Interestingly, this is a 404 if you're logged into Tidal.

Works for me (TM). Maybe you lost CDN-lottery?

Love that they don't pay any royalties for AI music right now, unlike Spotify.

So, their incentive is to promote AI music, since they don't have to pay royalties for them.

How so? People want to avoid it.

Good now add a setting to hide all AI content.

It will be super premium pro plan:)

Maybe on a less expensive super premium plus plan, you only see ai-generated content, but it’s at the highest quality streaming tier.

it won't be monetized so there's zero incentive to upload AI slop to Tidal

They say only wholly produced music using AI can't be monetized, nothing stopping it's 95% AI and 5% Human. Also no concerete definitions of what that even means.

I really hope someone makes a music platform in the future that is verified as human-made. Music is about connecting to human emotions, not poor facsimiles of it.

Tie it to in-person concerts and it might actually work as a business, as well as logistically – maybe the company can be a record producer in disguise and physically meet every musician they host.
