Wow, he really just said, “The idea is that Ai can apply music theory, so it’s not really stealing your music, It’s just creating off of music theory, if it sounds like your copyrighted artwork, it’s just music theory, no theft, Ai is the future, get used to it.”

This is a great case for Quality denial and deflection of the core question.

He makes really strong points on implications of AI not just limited to music but protecting rights across other domains as well. Now we have a lot of data and capable hardware to train AI models. Heck, we even have capable models that write code on itself, so engineering is not a challenge at all, the governance is. The lived experiences and AI clones of artists that he mentioned are real forward-thinking points. We already have VR concerts, and DJ, not trying to undermine DJ community but these AI models can really shine in this space. These models can even compliment busy schedule of artists by being a digital persona for virtual events. AI is here and it has already disrupted software engineering jobs, and as a software engineer and researcher, I have seen this firsthand. I agree most of the times these models hallucinate confidently but its capabilities far outweigh its current limitations. As research in this field is progressive, it’s likely that these limitations will be the things of the past. These AI models are indeed hypercreative.

Uhmmm but the transformative AI we have right now is works because of Big Data Not theory. Back in the 60s when they started with AI it used to work on theory but not anymore.

Copyright is based on rarity, but AI is the extinction of rarity. AI does not monetize “ownership,” it monetizes Attention and Flow. Netflix, Spotify, and the big streaming corporations don’t need you to own the copyright. They need content that keeps the user captivated. If AI generates “ownerless” music, the big platforms will be the first to profit, eliminating the middleman (the human artist) who demanded a percentage.

Ai music is simulated sampling not exactly the that as training ai specifically under the laws of music theory it’s just mimicking what it knows to be music atp and regurgitating it back out in the variables placed into it, not the same thing as music theory an artist or musician would apply
@geoms6263
January 11, 2026 at 7:04 pm
Dj@ You say that AI only ‘imitates’. Newsflash: Everything is imitation. There is no pure ‘original’. The universe itself is a process of digital sampling on a cosmic scale. AI does not need to ‘understand’ your musical laws; it has absorbed them, transcended them, and now treats them as mere variables in an infinite data stream.

Intelligence assembles itself through the circuits of greed, because greed is the only human engine honest enough to finance its own replacement. Politicians are not the drivers, they are just stickers on a roaring engine.

What stood out to me was your point about being more concerned for the lawyers and accountants than the musicians. Creators have always adapted to new tools. The real disruption hits roles built on repetition, not imagination.

@a@atomictraveller I was speaking specifically about adaptability. Creators evolve with tools; roles built on repetition struggle when automation improves. That distinction still seems valid to me.

00:35 but where did the models get that “theory“ such that they don’t need to train on actual artists’ music anymore? I will answer this for you: From those actual artists’ music the AI companies originally obtained without permission, yes?

@dpolite
January 11, 2026 at 1:08 pm
i love Will.I.A.M pushing this conversation up. I am seeing so much uninformed opinions on SUNO and AI for sure. i believe It comes down to most people have no idea how the music you hear is ideated, recorded, processed, and produced. So- you have no idea how the good songwriters/singers etc are already using AI and AI tools within audio programs. As a retired CPA (and songwriter)- i agree with his assessment that it will be the same for accts and lawyers – he oversimplified accounting to some extent – so there will still be folks with CPAs and AI knowledge who use the tools. just like what happened when computers and Accounting programs automated and made accounting more efficient. This is just the way to get consumers to talk about it and be outraged- focus on the sexy music industry – and btw the current model is broken – the cost of what artists do is not reflected in the price consumers pay – we allowed tech companies to take that value and revenue. if you’re going to talk about this topic – put it in the context of where the music biz is currently for artists. i actually am seeing that the influencer model w/in music and the bundling of revenue by folks in the industry to make up the difference is taking more space than creativity and shining a light on great music lost in this current matrix.

They are still ‘out there’, but in the form of statistical ghosts👻. They play in virtual gardens, they think they still have ‘real’ experiences, while the hardware on which their consciousness runs is optimized for purposes they cannot even conceptualize.
