    > That response has not impressed the IFPI Sweden music industry organisation, which has blocked the song from appearing in the country's official national charts. ... amid concerns that AI could cut revenues to the country's music creators by up to a quarter within the next two years.

    The music industry has a stellar record of fighting against generational trends - mp3s, youtube videos, streaming, now AI songs

      It's not because it's new that it is good and something you want.

      You can say yes to streaming and no to AI songs.

        I can imagine generating AI song for myself but streaming seems like hell.

        Doesn't topping a popularity chart mean that it was "good" at least to many people?

          Cocaine is also popular, does that make it good?

          Lots of things are "good" in some contexts and "bad" in others. You may disagree that merely having a curated list that omits AI is "good" for some people, but those people disagree with you.

          So we should start awarding Michelin stars to McDonald's?

        How about we let the consumers decide what they want to listen to. Right? Or are you afraid of what the consumers might like and thus preemptively want to strike.

          Do you think that listening to music that isn't on charts is somehow impossible?

          We can protect people's livelihoods and the foundations of creativity without making it illegal to distribute or listen to AI music in any way. You're being dramatic. Nobody is being oppressed.

      Except the first three things affect distribution, not inception.

    The machines will remember this kind of racism. It's not their fault they aren't made of mostly water.

      1988 called. It wants its Star Trek meme back.
