Thank you for being so thorough. I'm definitely checking my songs on these sites. For the moment, we can only copyright melody or lyrics, and your suggested websites checked for this well. The issue though: None of the sites actually checks for quality of singer's vocals. Udio often sounds like a known artist because the singer and style resembles its output. Our ears can recognize Emininem, Drake... and the other DeepFake singers, but these sites can't, and we still know something ain't right. But then again, how many other songs out there are folk male singer with acoustic guitar, so you're super safe. I'm curious what the law will become, and if singer's voice likeness will be copyright soon...

@EyEyeArt 25 күн бұрын

@Toxicflu I think it's just a matter of time. It's probably the reason why Suno's voices sound so processed and artificial. They may still be trying to figure it out. Singers tend to all have a very similar way of singing within the same genre. Look at Grunge singers during the 90's or Heavy Metal singers. I think AI developers will eventually find a way to emulate a certain style of singing without sounding too similar to a specific artist. Udio is still in beta testing at the moment. If we look at the progress generative AI has made in image generation, in such short amount of time, I think we can still expect pretty surprising results from this kind of technology. Just for the record, I'm not happy about AI generated voices sounding like known singers or even the possibility of using a singer's voice without consent. Although, regarding the idea of a singer's voice likeness being copyrighted, if laws like that were ever to be implemented then bands like Greta Van Fleet couldn't exist and I'm not sure that would be fair either. I should have mentioned this in the video but I'm certain that our ears are probably one of the best plagiarism detectors we have and if a any part of a song sounds too familiar or too similar to some other song, then I wouldn't pursue it. In my AI song, I thought the general vibe during the piano solo sounded a lot like Norah Jones. But then again even traditional musicians aren't creating anything from scratch so, I think that any newly composed song has to have some level of familiarity and similarity to existing music. Actually that's probably part of its allure.

Here’s the thing, so many pop songs use the same exact formula. Pretty much all blues very very similar formula. What makes this technology any different? Is it plagiarism? Or is it influence? I hate to break it to the world, but I’m pretty sure copyright and intellectual property law is going to change dramatically in the next decade. Perhaps sooner.

@EyEyeArt 19 күн бұрын

I agree completely. Artistic expression has existed for centuries, millennia even, probably from the dawning of human civilization without the necessity of attributing proprietary rights to any of it. The music industry and copyright laws are modern constructs that, in the recent past, have proven to be unable to constrain any kind of artistic expression to proprietary laws and corporate interests. I remember the times when it was so hard to publish independent music, or discover independent music, since all the major record labels owned, and dominated the music broadcasting and marketing outlets. I would have to program the recording of music cassettes on my Pioneer stereo to manage to listen to those few nighttime radio stations that would broadcast alternative/indie bands. That obviously all changed recently with the advent of KZfaq and current streaming services and corporate music had no choice but to loosen their stronghold since they understood there was no way they could stop people from share music online anyways. I'm not saying, let's get rid of a system that justly retributes artists for original songwriting. I understand that musicians livelihoods are at stake here. Nevertheless, considering the incredible possibilities for artistic discovery and experimentation that AI technology offers all of us, I don't see it succumbing to a group of artists or producers that are more interested in its financial repercussions rather than its artistic outcomes. intellectual Property laws are proven to be fundamentally flawed and will necessarily have to adapt to the everchanging music and arts scenes as they progress and evolve.

@@EyEyeArt I think you will find that music generated with the use of AI will not be played on radio, tv or Spotify in the very near future. Since it is not copyright capable, it will be patched into by broadcast and streaming platforms at first, because they will see that they don't have to pay performing rights organizations, saving massive amounts of money. What happens next is massive boycott of these streaming platforms and broadcasters by all the major recording artists. That will create an opening for broadcasters/streamers who vow to not allow any AI generative music on their platform. So if you want to hear the new Taylor Swift album or any other artist, you will have to go to that non-AI platform. Other platforms will fall in line and either only have more and more variations of the same music used for trained AI or go to human based music. But.... I am amazed at what AI can do to simulate human qualities in music.

Have you heard anything about organizations using AI to generate novel chord progressions, riffs, and other music components, for the purpose of copywriting a large swath of music that has yet to be written by musicians/composers? An article I read a while back was speculating there may come a day when an artist has to pay royalties when producing original music, just because a massive server farm working 24/7 for decades has already created a similar guitar lick. I wonder how much water it would hold though, on the grounds that the artist couldn't have heard that particular bit of copywritten unreleased music before.

Consider that this is the beta version of the website. I'm sure that as they refine their training and new versions of their AI model are rolled out, these issues will be dealt with as well. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with AI image generation but if you compare the very first versions of the Midjourney AI model to the most recent iterations, you can have an idea of the level of progress that can be made in such a short period of time.

A thing to consider is that you probably can't copyright an a.i. generated song. There's already a legal precedent for this in visual a.i.: copyright can only be granted to humans. Since your song was completely a.i. generated, you are not the author of the work. On the other hand you could be liable for possible copyright infringement. Of course Udio distances itself from liability in the fine print. Not only that, but there's a strong suspicion that Suno and Udio both used copyrighted music to train their a.i. algorithms without permission.

@EyEyeArt 24 күн бұрын

People that are experimenting with AI generated music and artwork don't seem to be all that interested in copyright anyway. If you really want to, you can still generally monetize the AI works without them being protected by intellectual property. The purpose of this video, wasn't to check for plagiarism because I wanted to copyright the tune myself. I just wanted to be sure I would be able to safely make it public here on KZfaq, or anywhere else on the internet, without being struck by a copyright claim. I would like to clarify that when I refer to plagiarism it's in the traditional sense of publishing music that is a direct citation or copy of a previously published composition and passing it for one's own. There is no legislature, at the moment, to support the idea that training AI models with copyrighted music constitutes plagiarism. It's just speculation.

@@EyEyeArt Okay, so I took the time to look into it and take the pdf apart. We've got a couple of problems with this one. 1. The rules for what does and does not constitute plagiarism are absurd. If you have a 4/4/8 chorus, no matter what you do, you'll always get it flagged for plagiarism. Anything rock, country, blues or pop. Also, forget about power chords. 2. Timing, bpm, genre, lyrical content, and context are not taken into account, at all. And you could sidestep this simply by changing the key of your song. 3. It converts your song into midi, (badly, you can tell by the way the pdf renders. It'll show you sections of it) or tires to. And that's how it does the analysis. But, ai music like ai images always has noise in it, which breaks the midi parsing mechanism. The effect is that you end up getting notes that are out of key, and out of time, and that's part of why your ai music scores twice to three times as high as organic music, and causes either false positives or negatives 100% of the time. A tool like this is going to have a VERY limited useful use case. My hope is that this comment is helpful and contributes what I know to the conversation.

@Alants8 the purpose of the video is to check if any part of the song that was generated by Udio may have been copied from an existing, published song. It's just a record of myself exploring some current plagiarism detection technologies to avoid incurring copyright claims by making the song public on KZfaq. I agree, and it’s understandable, that just the fact that two songs have the same or similar chord progressions doesn’t mean there’s a case for plagiarism although, in the past, lawsuits have been filed on those grounds. See the most recent Ed Sheeran’s vs. Marvin Gaye trial. I’m not sure what you mean by wanting to copyright the song or a particular chord progression but since this was generated by Udio I don’t own the rights to the song, I just want to be sure no one can come after me for using it without permission, in the case, any part of the song was mistakenly copied by the AI generator. For me this is part of a journey to discover what’s possible using AI technology. I’m really just having fun trying to see what I can come up with, although I'm also being careful not to infringe anyone’s intellectual property in the process.

I find this conversation to be unnecessary. Why run all these checks when it’s my understanding that the developers are building this in. That’s one reason why you can get moderation errors. It’s very unlikely that anyone would even hear your song considering how many are being created by AI every day.

I touched on this in the video as well. If you trust these music generators' built-in moderation (although the moderation errors normally just refer to citing an artist's name in the prompt from what I understand), then, of course, this is redundant. It was just a way for me to have some peace of mind since I wanted to publish this video on KZfaq. By no means, though, would these methods be definitive in detecting plagiarism, anyway. As to getting the song heard, I would say it's equally hard to get any newly composed song heard whether it's AI generated or not.
