How Musicians Can Get Paid for Training AI
Musicians are accustomed to getting paid each time their creative work is used. Across vinyl/CD sales, streams, radio, cover versions, and those numerous niches like karaoke, there are agreements in place about what “use” means. Underlying this is a simple economic principle: The more something is used, the more money it makes. Generative AI has complicated the definition of use . On the one hand, you could argue that the use of a piece of musical training data happens just once, at the point of training. On the other hand, creators would be right to complain that the creative essence of their work lives on in the structure of the model, used every time the model produces an output. Now, companies like Sureel and SoundVerse are working to re-create the essential economic principle that motivates creativity in an era of AI. Such initiatives aim to turn the generative AI industry from one

‘Bang My Box: The Robin Byrd Story’ Review: The Mistress of Late-Night Cable Public-Access Sex-Show Kitsch Gets Her Own Bangin’ Documentary
She would still be powdering her nose during the show’s opening moments (that’s how understaffed they were), and she would repeat her catch phrases ("Lie back and get comfortable," "If you don’t have a loved one, you always have me"), and then she would introduce the first performer of the night — what were then called strippers, though this was the only show where that might be a porn queen in a G-string or a blueboy dressed in skimpy biker leather. In the age of triple-X entertainment, there was nothing overly racy about it. The fun is that you were watching this on television — and the fun, as well, was there in Robin’s innocent, giggly, pushy, in-on-the-joke-but-not-quite personality.
