Episode notes
Nuanced AI Disclosure For Credits
- Spotify will require nuanced AI disclosure in credits that specify which elements used AI.
- This avoids a false binary of 'AI song' vs 'non-AI song' and clarifies creative contribution.
Automated Detection Is Unreliable
- Detecting AI use in creative work is technically hard and automated detectors produce false positives.
- Jaden compares this to OpenAI's halted AI-writing detector which flagged many legitimate essays.
Label Partial AI Use Clearly
- Label AI involvement precisely so partial uses (mixing, mastering) aren't misclassified as full AI authorship.
- Use the industry standard disclosures to avoid being blacklisted by algorithms.
