A Chaotic System

 Sandeep Swadia made me realize that I am in a chaotic system as a song writer in today's Gen AI times.

Then I saw the real problem. And just like veteran music industry workers are telling, their job is in peril. I don't buy into that idea. Until I saw that my JJazzLab plus DAW vst plugins pathway wasn't actually the problem. Then why am I not still acting on that path where my copyright is best guaranteed? It's because my song won't sound as good as a Gen AI one cheaply without copyright, or a very expensive studio finished one with copyright.

It's short of saying that Gen AI is a competitor. Studios can rather fight back developing an AI system that can slash down the prize of producing a song. They don't need to sue it, since no sane music producers would give their own song to something that will instantly own it. The market model shift towards Toyota and leaving the Ferrari market model, creating more HM that competes by the quantity also not just by quality.

What's happening? Musicians are now gaming the system, not releasing the AI version of their song but just to use it both as an ideation [good song writers have their own initial inspiration from real life] and something to learn from, adapt to, or master and learn how to include it's choice of elements manually using a DAW. 

My initial reaction to the chaos was now understandable, a sweeping safety protocol: Song writers shouldn't thread the path of fictional account creation unless it's all or mostly AI generated songs.

Music AI companies should create a system where song writers have a security of whatever copyright they have. Telling unambiguous things that there is actually nothing for the song writers with the generated AI version, was the main reason it was being gamed now. Or they might suffer the same ChatGPT consequences as well from its preference to do it fastest and earn without regard for ethical guardrails.

Lawsuits might not be able to see that AI slop tastes really bad with an overall experience. No actual singer, no fandom, no feeling-meaning communication happening which can only happen more solidly via a human to human exchange, a singer fully evoking the subjective meaning of the song effectively to an audience. Or to a business savvy consultant's mind, should they really move away to the tested system of musical earning, just because something else is shiny?

Sandeep Swadia said that after a safety protocol, one now can attack the complex system, which includes the step of waiting for the effect no one still knows about. But time is of the essence for those things we can already do something about.
