[1]Yes, I know it's a Tracy Chapman song.
I don't think so. It amends previous protections preventing folks from using an artist's likeness to include voice. I don't think you could, for instance, create a TV commercial using someone's image and simply label it as AI to get around those protections.
The whole point of the law is to protect the likeness of a person. If you can just slap a label on it that would make it pointless.
An AI generated song, I would argue, is not really "creative" in the same sense. It's not even really a cover. It's a generated output built on the original IP to a degree that is well beyond human capacity because it's not human at all. It's machine generation and not artistic creation. People like to conflate the two, but they're being wilfully ignorant of the clear differences between the two. Prompting an AI model to output something is not the same thing as making it oneself. The only human element of an AI song is the prompt and not the output.
It's more likely that an AI song should and will be treated in the same way as clearing a sample in hip-hop, for example, even though it's also different in important ways.
I'd argue against that. A lot of "serious" AI art isn't just throw a prompt and you're done. There's additional editing on top of that (of course content aware fill isn't AI because...reasons). And even then, have you seen prompts for really good stuff? Those are def not one shot things, and are a creative process in itself. It's annoying honestly, since I'm rarely ever able to get images that are as good as I've seen.
"That's not REAL music." I changed schools, eventually changed majors.. but now the place that rejected my computer now has a "music technology" degree.
editing to say that music that wasn't real went on to be a massive genre - hard to put "creativity / art" in a box.
You brought up AI visual art, and used the word "editing" to describe what happens after the image is generated from the prompt. I think that's a very important distinction --- between creating an image or work of art by your own hand (yes even in something like Illustrator or digital art tools because people like to erroneously conflate those with AI image generation) and editing the output of an AI model. I would argue the same happens in a DAW with an AI song.

I have, hence why the prompts are the human and actually artistic part of AI art. You need to be creative to actually create a prompt that uses AI model well and skillfully. They honestly read like bizarre modernist or formalist poetry.
