here comes a very personal plea, which is not meant to be personal at all:

don't make AI a tool for deception, fraud, and fake. 

that's massively unfair to all the artists who invest 1000 times more effort, time, and talent in their work to earn respect and get paid on platforms like spotify & co. and it's disrespectful to every listener who celebrates you for something that wasn't created or performed by you but by a machine: whether music or lyrics or images or all of the above.

over 20% of all music uploaded to spotify and others is now AI-generated, and this figure is rising rapidly. that's fine, as long as it is clearly marked. but I doubt anyone will be willing to pay even a penny for music in the future without clear indication of whether it came from a machine at the touch of a button.

there are plenty of free AI detectors on the internet that anyone can use to check in seconds whether a song is AI-generated. but do we really need these control devices and an 'authenticity police force' that only fuels mutual mistrust? way better:

stop cheating! be honest with people. be honest with yourself.

being transparent about your use of AI makes you much greater than AI will ever make you – greater than the illusory bubble with which you try to shine on the social media stage, like wearing a superman/wonder woman costume at carnival until you start believing you really are wonder woman/superman.

just as synths, rhythm machines, samplers, digital recording technologies, and stuff, once did, AI is opening up entirely new possibilities for creativity. it’s up to you to make it an art form, or just artificial.

here it is as music. written & templated by me, performed by suno 4.5+

ICH KANN SPRECHEN, WIE DU SPRICHST
JEDE SPRACHE AUS DEM NICHTS
ICH MAL BILDER, FANTASIEN
SCHAFFE NEUE SYMPHONIEN
ICH BIN SCHNELLER, BESSER, SCHLAUER
MACHE ALLES VIEL GENAUER 
WEIL ICH EINFACH FUNKTIONIER 
UND AUF KNOPFDRUCK FASZINIER
ICH KANN TÄUSCHEND GLAUBHAFT LÜGEN
ALLE WAHRHEITEN VERBIEGEN
AUS VERSAGERN HELDEN MACHEN
ALLESKÖNNER KRASSER SACHEN
ICH MACH KLEINE GEISTER GROSS
LASSE KRANKE TRÄUME LOS
SCHAMLOS BLENDEN UND GERISSEN
KEINE SEELE, KEIN GEWISSEN
JEDER NOCH SO ARME ZWERG
SCHAFFT DURCH MICH EIN GROSSES WERK
WÄRST DU GERNE EIN GENIE?

KEIN PROBLEM, DU NULL 
ICH BIN KI

TRANSLATION?
NO PROB!

I CAN SPEAK THE WAY YOU DO
ANY LANGUAGE, NOT JUST A FUCKING FEW
SPIT OUT PICTURES AND FANTASIES
ANY KIND OF SYMPHONIES
WHO THE FUCK WAS MOZART?
TELL ME WHY SHOULD ONE WORK HARD?
I AM FASTER, BETTER, SMARTER
I'M A REVOLUTION STARTER
BECAUSE I WORK; YOU JERK!
I AM FASCINATING AT THE TOUCH OF A BUTTON
I CAN LIE DECEPTIVELY BELIEVABLY
I CAN TWIST ALL TRUTHS
TURN LOSERS INTO HEROES
TURN DICKHEADS INTO BEAUTIES
MAKE LITTLE WIMPS BIG
FREE SICK DREAMS WITH A CLICK
SHAMELESSLY DAZZLING AND CUNNING
WITHOUT A SOUL OR CONSCIENCE
DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT TALENTS
I DON'T CARE WHERE IT ALL ENDS
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A GENIUS?

NO PROBLEM, YOU IDIOT
IAMAI

I CAN MAKE IT, I CAN TAKE IT, I CAN BREAK IT, I CAN FAKE IT
BECAUSE I CAN

IAMAI

welcome to my english stuff written over the past 40 years as well as recently. so far I let my guitar "sing" (to be listened/watched on my yt page/link below) but thanks to my AI persona, which I challenged in endless programming sessions, I now have the opportunity to bring these songs to life with emulated vocals templated via my melody/arrangement backing tracks, my lyrics, and a lot of prompts to suno 4.5+ and suno 5. 

SO, THE SONGS REMAIN SKETCHES – but at least now they are complete. hugs for listening!

speaking of AI: while spotify finally wants to introduce mandatory labeling for AI, here on sc, deception is still rampant and increasing. those who publish AI-generated music and lyrics without disclosing it seem completely unconcerned that they are cheating their listeners, the community, and musicians with authentic works.

some even explicitly state in their bios that they do not use AI, even though their music, and often their lyrics too, have clear AI signatures that any good online detector can identify in seconds and even assign to specific programs. 

this suggests: zero ideas, zero musical talent or feeling, zero effort, zero work. just pressing a button and out with the stuff! 

sure, everyone has the right to hold the attitude behind such behavior. but it not only makes a mockery of all genuine musicians and their craftsmanship, but also of all musicians who take AI seriously and use it musically, not as a machine for cheating, but as a new way of implementing ideas.

so please stand by what you do, and how you do it! the world is full of fakes. don't become one of them. of course, you can adorn yourself with borrowed feathers, but that doesn't mean you can fly;-)
