AI Music Generation and Copyright
🎵The US Copyright Office states that fully generative AI music is not copyrightable because it's created by nonhumans, challenging traditional notions of authorship and ownership in music.
🤖AI platforms like Sunno can create music that sounds like it was made by human musicians, demonstrating the rapid advancement of AI in music composition.
AI Music Quality and Limitations
🎼While AI platforms can mimic country music and create variations of songs, the vocals often sound synthetic and not real, highlighting current limitations in AI-generated vocals.
🏆Sunno is considered superior to other AI music platforms like Murea, with some Sunno-generated songs being described as "shockingly good" compared to Murea's "cheesy" output.
Copyright Law and Human Creativity
📜Copyright protection is granted to persons who translate ideas into fixed tangible expressions, but not to materials created by nonhumans, emphasizing the current legal focus on human creativity.
