  There's a time and a place for everything.

  AI-generated jingles? Absolutely! Nothing says "buy now" like a robot with perfect pitch.

  AI-generated ad copy? You bet! Soulless selling from a soulless source.

  AI-generated news synopsis? Sure! So long as it’s labeled clearly and doesn’t start quoting Nietzsche.

  But when it comes to music, poetry, fiction, or art-I draw the line. I don’t ask my hammer to write me a sonnet, and I don’t need my toaster composing symphonies.

  Let the machines handle the mundane. The messy, beautiful, human stuff? That’s ours.

  > Deezer’s AI music detection tool sets an industry standard, with the ability to detect 100 % AI-generated music from the most prolific generative models – such as Suno and Udio, with the possibility to add detection capabilities for practically any other similar tool as long as there’s access to relevant data examples.

  It would be excellent if they explained this. How? Do these systems add some sort of non-audible audio "fingerprint" of sorts that allow for the 100% detection? Or do these AI tools commonly reuse audio samples or something?

  It kind of makes sense. If you use copyrighted music without a license, Content ID and similar identification strategies will result in your upload being taken down. Using AI-generated music for your video avoids legal concerns while fulfilling your need to have, say, a musical background in it.

  Glad I have very little interest in new music.
