It’s just a tool, like autotune or synthesizers. People panicked when photography came out thinking it would kill painting. It didn’t. Musicians need to adapt or get left behind. #SZA

comparing a synth to a machine that literally scrapes your voice and identity is a false equivalency. a synth doesn't pretend to be you.

Legally speaking you can't copyright a 'style'. Voice likeness is protected under right of publicity but it varies by state. It's a legal mess right now.

SZA is spot on about the impact on Black music. It feels like cultural appropriation on autopilot. Extracting the vibe without paying the people.

Robot got more heart? 💀 SZA lyrics predicting the future fr.

if an ai makes a banger, i'm listening. i honestly don't care if a human made it or a bot, as long as it sounds good.

As a struggling musician, this terrifies me. How do I compete with a server farm that can generate 10,000 songs an hour? #SZA

The “theft” argument is weak. Humans learn by listening to other artists too. We all mimic influences. Is that theft? 🤷‍♂️ #vibes #SZA

Humans have lived experience! AI just predicts the next frequency based on math. It's mimicry without soul. Anti-intellectualism at its finest. #SZA

justice for olivia dean! she just started and already has to fight bots for streams? the industry is broken. #SZA

lmao Maybe a licensing model is the answer. If AI uses a specific artist's voice print, that artist should get 50% of the royalties automatically.

no deals. full ban on unauthorized voice cloning. my voice is my biometric data. you can't just take it.

Xania Monet charting is historic though. It proves that the general public values catchy hooks over 'human origin'.

Soon artists will just license 'voice skins' to fans so we can make our own songs with their voices. It's the future of merch... #SZA

the copyright office already said ai-generated art can't be copyrighted if there's no human authorship. so who owns these ai songs? nobody?

Wait, so if I prompt it, do I own it? Or does the AI company own it? The terms of service are shady.

The prompt engineer should own it. Crafting the pefrect prompt to get a good song takes skill. #SZA

“Prompt engineer” lol. You typed a sentence. You’re not a composer.

uh It's exactly like the sampling debates of the 80s/90s. We figured out sampling clearance; we will figure out AI clearance. #SZA

sampling pays the original artist! ai companies are scraping data for free and selling subscriptions. it's exploitation.

Record labels are 100% going to replace session musicians and background singers with AI to save money. That's the real danger. #SZA

They are already doing it. Look at how many 'lo-fi beats' playlists are just AI generated filler. #SZA

What if the AI music is actually better than the formulaic pop on the radio right now? Maybe humans got lazy. #SZA

Then that says more about the state of the music industry than the quality of AI. We need better curation.

PAY 👏 LIVING 👏 ARTISTS 👏

You can't put the genie back in the bottle. The tech is here. We need to focus on how to monetize it, not ban it.

t just feels wrong. Listening to a fake Drake or fake SZA feels like eating plastic fruit. Looks real, tastes like nothing. #SZA

If Xania Monet is a real person then my toaster is a chef. Come on.
