Tagging is the bare minimum.
I don’t care about payouts. If I pay for a streaming service (I do: Apple Music), I don’t care who/how they pay). I do like that they pay more than average, and more than Google and Spotify. But I’m not switching to a service that pays artists more. That costs me the moral superiority to think I have a say in who gets paid what.
But on the flip side, don’t mourn for what they’re losing in royalties. (I know this community isn’t.) Google is paying them. YouTube is basically the leader of AI music. They’re pushing it on everyone. I think they make one of the tools. I’ve been fooled a couple times. But now I’m seeing that this is a trend that YouTube is pushing, so I generally assume something on YouTube is AI generated unless I know it isn’t.
