I hate to be annoying (really) but this has been the case for decades with artists and their work because they function within the music industry or publishing and they don’t have editorial control. They never did. This is nothing to do with A I and is giving credence to something that has all the hall marks of a moral panic.

It is certainly an old issue dressed up in new clothes. But I think there are subtle differences that are crucial. Somebody could repackage and sell your work without your consent since the dawn of the recordings. But the idea that somebody could make, say, a Drake song without Drake is fundamentally different in my eyes. When I consider that along with the fact that you might be able to conjure up scores of "Drake" songs at will, I get concerned. But I hear you. Appreciate the comment.

I have to agree. I’m seeing these alarmist posts everywhere and it honestly just feels clickbaity. Capitalism quickly wrestles control and ownership of anything potentially revenue-producing away from individual creatives. This is not a new problem, and it will never be solved as long as art is tied to commerce.

No - you are quite right - just more stuff to get people foaming at the mouth as if life wasn't complex enough anyway. All these technologies are is assistive - but they just have to keep rehashing 'War of the Worlds' every time. I'm done with it really!
