AI Music creation will win!
This fight will be brutal but in the end , AI Music creation will win. You cannot stop the future. Yes, people will use AI to create music at scale.
Spotify has removed tens of thousands of songs made with the generative artificial intelligence service Boomy, following complaints of fraud on its streaming platform, the Financial Times reports. Boomy users can create music in seconds using descriptors or styles such as “rap beats” or “rainy nights.” Those tracks can then be uploaded to streaming platforms and potentially generate royalty payments. Universal Music recently notified Spotify and other platforms that it saw suspicious “artificial streaming” on Boomy tracks, with bots being used to inflate streaming numbers. Spotify subsequently pulled 7% of tracks uploaded by Boomy.
Launched in 2021, Boomy claims it has been used to create 14.5 million songs — about 14% of the world’s recorded music. The service says it is “categorically against any type of manipulation or artificial streaming.”
