Artificial Intelligence Music Companies Get Sued

Article: Training AI music models is about to get very expensive - MIT Technology Review

Artificial Intelligence Music could be taking a hit as Suno and Udio, two leading AI music startups that make tools to generate complete songs from a prompt in seconds, were sued by major record labels. Sony Music, Warner Music Group, and Universal Music Group claim the companies made use of copyrighted music in their training data “at an almost unimaginable scale,” allowing the AI models to generate songs that “imitate the qualities of genuine human sound recordings.”

What effect this will have on AI Music is left to be seen. But, as in many legal actions like this, it could essentially serve as a way to leverage an agreeement with the AI Music companies on licensing fees.

Article: Google’s carbon emissions surge nearly 50% due to AI energy demand - CNBC

Apple CEO Says Artificial Intelligence Will Cause Reduced Phone Usage

Article: Tim Cook says it's a 'significant possibility' people use their iPhones less because of AI - Business Insider

Tim Cook is saying that iPhone users might very well not want to use their devices as much with his Apple Intelligence on them.

I would definitely agree, since I certainly don't want to use a device if it has Artificial Intelligence built into it. I love AI for creating art, music and more. But, only when I choose to use it. I don't want it wandering around my devices and doing whatever it wants to without my consent. I felt exactly the same when Personal Assistants like Siri came out. I didn't want them always on and listening to what I was saying or doing.

OpenAI Didn’t Copy Scarlett Johansson’s Voice for ChatGPT

Article: OpenAI didn’t copy Scarlett Johansson’s voice for ChatGPT, records show - The Washington Post

A lot has been made over a voice in the new ChatGPT-4o that critics assert is a "clone" of actress Scarlett Johansson. But, records clearly show that the voice belongs to another actress hired specifically to create the voice heard.

The casting call for the actors used in the new version of ChatGPT specified "The actors should be nonunion. They should sound between 25 and 45 years old. And their voices should be warm, engaging [and] charismatic.” There was, however, no mention of any actor needing to bear a resemblance to Johanssen.

I think that this is about people considering the new technology to bear a resemblance to the film "Her," where Johnannsen played a more emotional personal assistant. I think that people simply wanted to read Johansson into whatever voice they then heard from ChatGPT-4o.
