Summary
Spotify and Universal Music Group are collaborating to allow Premium subscribers to create AI-generated song covers and remixes. The feature will enable users to create new versions of songs from participating artists, who will receive a share of the revenue generated by these creations. The partnership aims to provide a new way for artists to monetize their music and for users to engage with their favorite songs.
Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Spotify and Universal Music Group are bringing AI-generated music to the masses, because what could possibly go wrong? Users will be able to create their own covers and remixes, and artists will get a cut of the revenue. It’s like a dream come true… for the algorithms. Because what artists really needed was more AI-generated noise competing with their original work.
Original observation: This is just karaoke with more server space.
