The topic of AI has been beat to death and elicits some pretty dramatic reactions in some people, to the point of cutting off communication rather than accepting and allowing for different points of view. Social media especially and songwriter groups specifically, are polarized into two distinct camps with very little common sense or ground being shared. One side says AI is the best thing since sliced bread and indoor plumbing, and the other says AI is of the devil and all that it entails.

So.... Moving along....

It seems that there's a big push from the record industry and streaming services to identify the music that is being created using AI. So much so that they are starting to tag and label the music with one of 2 different labels. One with a big AI in the box to signify 100% use of AI or nearly so, and a second with the smaller ai in the box signifying that there was some use of AI generated tracks used in the music.

I say we're approaching this the wrong way.

How about flipping it? Instead of the AI label, use a HU label to indicate that all the tracks and vocals are 100% human created, and a smaller hu in the box for music that contains tracks that are not human created but are in fact, simply human assisted. Use of VSTi plugins, tracks created by Band in a Box, etc, would be labeled as human assisted. They could still use the AI label for the 100% AI generated with a prompt music.

Just thinking..... What say you?
