If you all did was write the lyrics and someone else wrote the music and produced it...a jaded view is that...you paid to play...in the game.

And the V-I's point, that from where you sit, there is little difference from that and clicking a mouse a few times and letting UDIO do the heavy lifting.
He claims a few prompts fully enables him to claim the robot products as his.
You claim that a few prompts coupled with a few bucks enables you to claim that the work of others is yours.

I'll let you phrase the next question?....?

Another POV closer to mine...if Carroll's end-product song is good, or your song is good or the V-I's song is good....
the only thing that matters is that good songs were brought into existence, as long as credit is being given where actually deserved.
SIDENOTE: Legally both cases may be true.

To date:
This song is good
Carroll's Whatever For is good
Nothing from the V-I strikes me as actually good. He talks often about the city of gold, but I aint seen no gold from him yet.
