If what you say is true, it's truly a game changer for someone like me because I do recording sessions with pros and it ain't cheap. It's awesome, very much so, but it's costly.

Right now I would not use any AI for a demo to be pitched. Until all the legal, ethical and financial questions are answered there are a lot of insiders who "wont touch anything with even a hint of AI". The quote is from a friend who is a music lawyer and publisher. Being able to show who all the musicians were and the paperwork they signed as a "work for hire" Will be a good way to show the pluggers you are serious about things when pitching a demo.

AI is still a clunky tool and it's fingerprints are easy to see. By this time next year that may not be true. Then all bets are off.

The other topic about whether AI borrows what you upload - if you have any music in distribution like CDBaby or have any original music on you tube - AI already has it in it's databases. Removing it will be next to impossible. Personally I think that since it learns, as you upload songs it figures out what you are looking for and feeds it back to you. Like face book does with politics.

We got asked for a pitch this week on a cowrite with another JPFer where we used and disclosed we used an AI voice to cover her vocals in a country twang because she just doesn't sound like that, and they said it is 100% fine to pitch it, as they would cover it anyway in their own demo session before giving it to an artist. For me, this is the perfectly good way to us A.I. No harm to anyone. We are no longer playing live, so now we cqan just write songs, use AI for demo production on our end, pitch to this major punblisher who has active artists, then they will listen and decide. I even processed it it to a country style to give them a better idea of what it would sound like, they loved it even more. We just changed one line that was a little too edgy for them and are going to process it again and pitch. If they love it, they may follow that for the d3emo session, otherwise, they will adjust as they want before they give it to their label artist they have in mind. Everyone wins. We can keep writing, they can keep pitching, if the artists love it, they will do their thing and everyone wins. AI is just part of production now. I do no labels cheat and go right from AI to production often using tracks to save money and time and since they are partnering with AI, expect entirely AI artists soon enough. I expct anywhere that budget is tight they will go right from Suno to locking it to film.
