Regarding the controversy of this song

I can feel Billy Joel's genuine passion and his worries... 🎧 Even as the world changes, the depth of classics like 'Dreams' remains the same, so don't be too upset. Shall we leisurely enjoy music while sticking to our own tastes? ♩

So what's the problem? You can see the details by checking Melon comments or searching.

I don't think AI can create art. Even if it can sing songs or draw pictures, art is fundamentally human. If a time comes when only AI creates art, then art will have disappeared.

From the perspective of opposing AI music, my thoughts can be summarized into two points: disclosure and compensation. AI music should be clearly labeled as such, and I believe that the majority of the revenue generated from it should be paid out as royalties. I think the direction will be that only those who say, 'I just like making AI music anyway,' those who are satisfied with even minimal revenue, or those who want secondary indirect profits (like using it for promotion) even without direct revenue, will continue to produce it. So, how will this actually be implemented? AI music software developers are already looking for solutions. Why? Because they are facing massive lawsuits. 'The reason AI can create music is because countless songs serve as its teaching material. Without those songs, AI could not compose music. Therefore, pay the copyright holders for the material used.' This is the argument of the musicians filing the lawsuit, and I agree with it. And I also believe it's fair to demand most of the profits as compensation.

I hope the money issue gets resolved that way, and it's actually easier to make disclosures. I understand the production company has already declared that all music made with their AI in the future will be labeled. They're introducing a system where it's not noticeable when listening, but it gets flagged as AI-generated when run through a detection program. It's like they're saying, "We're making these efforts, so please go easy on the lawsuits." And I think that's the right approach. I really hope a time comes soon when music is labeled as AI-generated without greed for money, and only those who continue to create will keep making it.

But unrelated to what you wrote, the song you linked is nice. I didn't know about it.

I don't know much about information, so I often don't realize things until later after hearing about them... haha. With more AI in music, I guess we'll have to be good at judging it too..!

I didn't know this song was AI-generated at first and heard it multiple times as background music for YouTube videos. I felt it was somewhat empty and cliché, so I avoided it. If I had to put it into words, it felt like the characteristics of the 'Korean ballad' genre were numerically averaged and directly outputted as a song. They say a human wrote the lyrics, but I couldn't feel any originality in this song, so it got kind of tiresome hearing it everywhereㅠ
