If the trajectory is anything like it is/was for visual art, the plea here may very well be too late. Generally, computer-generated “content” isn’t really an issue… THE ISSUE is the data sets used to train the algorithms.
Our stance: If one has not provided express consent for one’s work to be used in data training sets then plagiarism has occurred.
Having a kind of insider knowledge of how these “AI” and algorithms work, I’m confident in that stance.
Here’s hoping for the best… but the world tends to let down those who simply hope….
In the meantime, visual artists can and SHOULD disrupt the development of these algorithms as much as they can.
Useful tools like GLAZE and NIGHTSHADE exist and should be used whenever possible.

Brilliant work by the crew at University of Chicago.
Hey all and everyone,
Thanks for tuning in. It’s Friday and it’s good to be back at it after a short break.
We’ve new music for you today:
“Run Red Again Again Run Red”

Tis a Good’n.
If you’re not aware, Band Camp is going through… well, some THINGS at the moment, the long term effects of which are yet to be seen. So for the time being we’ll still be releasing music there. We’ll let you know if or when that changes.
That said, we’re working out some additional ideas for distribution including some nifty FREE options that may get rolled out here in the near future. “Free”, after all, is the tastiest flavor of anything really.
At this stage for Maid, eyes and ears are the most important things for us. They’ll keep the wheels a’turning and the good stuff a’flowin’.
It’s with that that we humbly ask that y’all spread the word where/how you can. Like, share, follow, comment, and tag on what you can.
Here’s our links:

If you enjoy what we’re doing here, let us and others know!
Thanks all, so very-very much,
-Maid
