Am I just paranoid?

There's a major difference between a multi-track synthesizer workstation, and a computer that can de-compile and re-sample anything you throw at it.
When I consider how this "AI tech" was initially developed (by sampling millions of human produced recordings), I question the logic of helping AI to improve and evolve.

If you use AI, aren't you giving a "super-computer" permission to analyze your intellectual property, then re-process it?

And,

Once you use AI, doesn't the developer of that tech OWN YOU?
Aren't you giving AI permission to re-use YOUR intellectual property?

I'm not just arguing for argument's sake here, Bryan...
Why do musicians/composers work so hard to be unique and original?

Finally, rational posts to respond to!

Yes, you are paranoid.

LOL... laugh

OK, Brian... I get you.
Ultimately, if you put yourself out there, your intellectual property is going to be owned by someone else anyway... So, why fight it?

Answer= I'm old fashioned wink

There is no reason for anyone else to own your music unless YOU decide to sell it or trade it for something like money or help or a pass through a gate they keep control of. But no one forced any creator to sign bad deals (except some mafia dudes with guns now and then) but they did it because they wanted someone ELSE to handle the less fun parts of being a songwriter/artist. But plenty of people have kept all their rights. Susan Gibson, a JPF member, kept 100% of her publishing on Wide Open Spaces because she was a nobody and Sony never bothered to even ASK her for any portion of it until it was a #1 hit already. They never expected an outsider to slip through the cracks but she did.
