I am looking at the battle artists are having against the AIs and I feel them. It is more than unfair to have a machine stealing their life's work, their pension. And I am not talking about big names - I mean, there area small artists that don't have the means and the power to fight this.
Copyright should always be copyright.

I find the impact of AI on music to be far less than other fields....music has had sample packs and loop packs forever.
For the last 10+ years any kid with an ipad and garage band has been able to create music by basically dragging and dropping.
I don't think the AI aspect of this is bringing anything revolutionary to the table. I know it can "sing", but as developments go think most of the damage of "drag and drop" music production has already been done.

This.
Most musicians haven't made money from their music in many years. To make money they tour and sell merch. AI doesn't replace a good live show.

I feel them, but I'm not that sympathetic. You cannot sue other musicians if you have had an influence on their style; how is AI any different? The degree to which AI copies any individual artist is probably even less than the degree to which a human artist is influenced by another human artist. I think it is the commercialized aspect of AI copying that feels bad, since there is no real human artistry involved behind it. But shouldn't the market decide whether it likes AI slop or not? I hope people are discerning enough to reject it.

Yep, the IP blade cuts both ways.
The other thing is that technology destroys business models. Always has, always will. You can't stop it.

I fell for the AI slop in music and realized it only after I searched to see when a particular song was released since I knew the artist and the songs of that artist. It was a particular key that I heard only after a few replays of the song, that caught my attention and made me think it's AI.

I think I fell for it too, but only when I was looking for lofi-style background music for studying. It's not any music that I'd ever pay for or go to a concert for

Copyright is BS. You can't own something nonphysical. How do you, for example, legally possess an idea?

you can posses the concept bla bla. I don't want to tackle the non-sense of copyright but the money costing aspects.

Please explain

what part needs explanation?
the fact that one can indeed posses a concept (an idea basically) or the fact that (for example I am working close to) artists: designers, writers, musicians, all have trouble with copyright cause their work is usually used without royalties being paid.

As AI music becomes more and more in our faces, I think the desire for artists to play and peoples artists to see live music will increase, which I think is pretty cool.
