The AI tools I know are software applications. The better you know how these applications work, the better the results. In many cases you don’t need any knowledge of music. I keep asking myself, can people who are really good with AI music software call themselves songwriters. I mean, they can create songs without playing instruments, without singing, recording or writing lyrics. When the song is done, they can claim that they wrote everything even though they didn’t. It kind of reminds me of Milli Vanilli. Their songs were written, recorded and produced by Frank Farian. He earned the money, which in my opinion was fair. But the two guys that presented the songs in public were only dancers and had nothing to do with production of the songs. What if someone uses Udio to create (I’m not using the word “write”) a song that later gets covered and becomes a big hit? Who gets the royalties? Does every songwriter in the future have to prove somehow that they wrote the song themselves? Or, in other words … can anybody prove that a song was originally written by an AI application and not by a human? Will software experts collect songwriting royalties in the future? I guess the main question is, is an AI music expert a songwriter even if he has no knowledge of music/songwriting?
