When ProTools software came along Bela Fleck, a jazz banjoist of superlative skills, said, "I'm getting better recordings in my living room than I've gotten in 30 years in expensive studios." When computers came along, people used them. When electricity came along, people used it. When string and wind and percussive instruments came along, people used them. When fire... AI. Just another tool. The 'creative' mind will use it, Register their compositions for Copyright, www.copyright.gov , and Register the Title with a Performance Rights Organization (PRO) to collect Songwriting and Publishing Royalties, if any are earned by 'Performance', likely still profitable on terrestrial radio. Others will create with AI to market via Synchronization License, like the current (July 2024) Toyota commercials, playing incessantly on TV. I wonder if AI is part of that particular composition. its not clear if anybody owns anything udio or suno puts out beyond the lyrics they enter. Its a gray area right now, but copyright has always been a gray area, and never really meant anyone owned anything. Just meant you filled out a piece of paper for it.

"Defeatist Pessimists and Rose Colored Glasses Optimists are lonely companions, victims even. Both ideologies imply predestined outcomes, and therefore breed inactivity in its victims. Inaction is the only sure way to lose at anything in life. All positive action guarantees at least a fighting chance." -Brian Austin Whitney
