SHOW NOTES
What if I sent you a link to an awesome song that was just released on Spotify by Drake and The Weeknd. It sounds just like their voices and just like their production. Turns out, it’s a song created by an AI who has been trained to emulate music by the two artists and Universal Music Group is rallying to get it removed from the interwebs. If a song is created completely by an AI, then who owns it? The people it’s “inspired by” even if it’s not them singing?
The Free Play Podcast is live on Twitch.tv/lovethynerd Fridays at 12p Eastern. Be sure to check us out while we are recording and be a part of creating the show in real-time! This is also the place to be if you are into bonus stories and extra content!
