Which artist will be the first to sell a licensed LLM (and other models?) trained on their own discography?

In a way, it's similar to the actors selling their digital images in the movie The Congress. It's inevitable.

wow, not many people have seen this movie. 100%.

I'd never heard of it, but definitely going to check it out now. A lot has happened in the ten years since it was created.

Based (how closely ?) on the 1971 black humour science fiction novel "The Futurological Congress" by Stanisław Lem !

(For those that would not know, he coined the term "robot" from the slavic root "work".)

Are you sure? Wikipedia says the word was coined by Karel Capek:

Oh damn. My bad - it's funny, I even though to myself : «he would have been quite young, wouldn't he ?»

Well now that’s an interesting thought. I bet you’re absolutely right with this prediction.

depending on the artist some fans might not enjoy being short changed if the drop in quality is perceivable.
