Bandcamp has banned all music made with AI

10. By "long time" I mean 5+ years

That wasn't generative AI, but it was AI processes that could have a big impact on the quality of output. None of it is as good as real experts, but some of it is a lot better than what the average professional can do.

And truly, the generative stuff can only mimic what it is trained on. Frankly, I have very little use for music that is so formulaic as to be easily aped, but that is 90% of what is out there. I have trouble working up too much sympathy for people who spend their days trying to copy the latest sound, then get unhappy when a computer can steal somebody else's sound better than they can.

Of course, this is a race to the bottom. Even the best, most creative and innovative music will eventually be subsumed. Hopefully the humanoid robot makers will perfect their machines, so there will be somebody to go to the clubs listening to all this regurgitative AI music.
