The surveillance world just got a little bit stronger.

Required watermarking starts Aug 1, just a few weeks away, in the EU. All AI generated music is required to have easily identified watermarks in the music under penalty of law.

But that's not the point of this post. To this point in time , only music, or mostly the music, was being scrutinized. Now, however, there's a new tool that can backwards engineer the lyrics to determine the exact song that the AI trained on when it put your lyrics together. This is a huge step forward.
Kinda like my dog.... You can hide it, but yeah, she's still gonna find it. This is a game changer in AI detection. The irony is of course that this detection is itself, AI. I don't know how many false positives it will throw, so I'm not discussing that side of this. I'm sure it will flag human content in the early stages. How many writers "borrow" ideas and lines from other songs? I dare say that would be a fairly large number of writers even if it's unintentional. No doubt, it will get better, rather quickly, given time.

Interesting times for sure.
