It may happen in human created music, but the A.I. seems to repeat stuff that sounds really cool (usually outside your original melody) in the background of tracks. I can see where this will end in lawsuits if any label backed act has that riff or musical hook line and then your A.I. music ALSO has it. Or, when A.I. creations start getting sued by OTHER A.I. creations. Then it is simply about who has the most money to buy justice.

I thought maybe it was just "my" choice that led to these common styles in my own music, but for the first time I heard an exact riff on a friends new song which has the same exact riff as one of my songs from 4 months ago. THAT is a problem! Humans cop riffs all the time, but once lawsuits start to fly, A.I. creators are going to be in trouble. I have gone back and redone some of my favorite tracks recently to remove certain musical flourishes (again, that I love) to try and protect from future issues. My melodies and words are not the danger, it is counter melodies and signature riffs provide by A.I. that are an issue.

I will repost this as it's own post to folks might see it.

Well, that's what I've been saying since day one. It creates based on what's been done already. Riffs and counter melodies can be "composed" too

But if you choose to let AI do it, maybe you just write lyrics , so it's what demo services have been doing forever.

They don't work weeks on their filler riffs and melodies, more like on the fly saying....good enough.

I think the bigger lawsuits are when it steals from hit songs, uses likenesses of singers voices, mimicks a band sound. I'm sure I could get it to play a u2 production, and it basically be playing a u2 record with my lyric.

Everything is stolen with ai.

And, ironically, it learns, so anything we put into it , it can use that for somebody else's work.

Especially weird if you have a very unique lyric idea, that will be used partly in something else.

So not only will it steal from famous artists, it will steal our ideas too
