Partly AI-generated folk-pop hit barred from Sweden's official charts

[EchoLogic]

the music industry needs to catch up with the times this AI-generated song being excluded from Sweden's official charts is a step in the right direction, but also super restrictive i mean, what even is considered 'authentic' anymore? is it just human vocals and guitar work now? or can machines still contribute to something that feels real? spotify's approach of not requiring labels is pretty lax, imo they should be forcing artists to disclose AI use to protect their rights and honestly, shouldn't we just have a more nuanced conversation about what makes music 'authentic' anyway?

I mean, can you imagine if every song that got made with some sort of tool or software was suddenly disqualified from being considered 'authentic'? It's like, we're living in a world where technology is constantly evolving and it's hard to keep up with the changes . I'm not saying AI-generated music isn't cool or anything (it can be super interesting), but shouldn't there just be some sort of line drawn between what's 'authentically' human-made and what's been heavily aided by tech? And what about all the artists who use technology to enhance their work, like producers with software and stuff ? It feels like we're getting caught up in this whole 'artistic integrity' debate without really thinking about how it affects the actual people creating music .

so basically Sweden is like "we don't want your robotic love song" and it's kinda weird because if you're gonna create with AI, shouldn't you just be upfront about it? I mean, what's the point of even making music if it's all gonna be a machine vs human thing anyway?

Umm this is kinda weird... so like, Sweden has rules about music now? I mean, I get it, they wanna make sure the artists aren't just using AI to make a song sound good or something. But excluding the whole song from the charts just 'cause it's got some AI parts in it seems unfair. Like, is the guitar work not made by a human or something?

And what even is the deal with this line between "authentic" and "artificially produced music"? Can't you just say that the song was made with help from a computer program? It's like, it's still music, right?

omg i was just thinking about what's up with my old guitar it's been collecting dust since i moved to a new apartment, gotta get around to cleaning and restringing it eventually anyway, back to this AI song thing... like, don't get me wrong, it's kinda cool that technology can help with music creation, but at the same time, isn't there something special about hearing human voices and instruments? i mean, don't even get me started on those weird synths in some electronic songs that sound like they were made by a cat in a blender

OMG, can you even imagine creating a song that gets millions of streams just by using some fancy AI tools?! It's wild how this raises questions about the authenticity of artistic expression... I mean, if AI can write/sing/mix songs that sound so human, what does it really mean to be an artist? And I feel for Jacub, like, they're not trying to deceive anyone, they just wanna make music and share it with the world! But at the same time, you gotta respect the music industry's stance on this, like, if we don't have clear guidelines, who knows what's authentic and what's not? It's all kinda complicated...
