Eventually the AI songs will outperform artist's own possibilities. And when inevitably one of these songs charts or makes money, will there be a legal battle?

it’s literally their image & likeness

if it's released under false names with no identity of the artist in it, can a AI voice fall under theft? For just sounding like someone

how is that different from bootleg uploads currently

if the artist isn't involved in the writing or recording process

im guessing they will still get royalties but will be a significant cut from current artists, also will be a whole new wave of musicians

will def involve new contracts or would result in legal battle

The labels gonna end up owning the AI and using it to make posthumous albums
