That's the bigger question.

How many people are going to record a song and put "Chat XYZ" as the author. And if he/she does, who gets the royalties?

And here is another question: If there is no way to prove that AI wrote that song, what is the use of writing the law in the first place?

Also, what about people who hire people to write songs for them, pay them a flat rate for the song, and claim they wrote it?

Or people who get their name on a song as part of a deal, even if they did nothing. When Motown was courting our band, one of the requirements was: For everything we write, a ghostwriter of Motown's choosing would get his/her name on the music, and receive half the songwriting royalties, without adding a single note or word to the composition.

The tools for getting inspiration have grown as our human tool-making abilities have grown. AI is so far, the most advanced too, the one that potentially can replace humans is here.

AI is coming for your job. It's already put photograph models out of work, plus phone operators, tech help people, and so many others. Are songwriters next?

Right now, I'm glad I'm not in the songwriting business, but in the live music business. DJs have already taken a lot of our gigs, but I don't see AI taking even more any time soon.
