Why aren't musicians more upset over AI-generated music, as much as visual artists are? It maybe because they have progressed further along the panic cycle. This Youtube by Benn Jordan explains it well.

Maybe they’re used to this bc of DJs (and earlier, rap) - sampling others’ music (like beats and hooks) was a big issue when both those genres emerged

Music is an art form that has always been open to some form of copying (folk songs, covers, sampling), adapting, and technology. I think AI music fits right in.

For the same reason synth music never put a drummer, or guitarist out of work in the early 80's

Which is amusing, because the video is about much more than the AI question.

Mr. Kelly, you have been told in the past why. Remember Stability Ai’s own music model Dance Diffusion shared why they built their models WITHOUT copyrighted material, a consideration that was never given to artists…

It might also have something to do with large record labels being so litigious, Stable Diffusion kept their AI from learning copyrighted material. But I guess that is too inconvenient for the narrative you're spinning 🙄

Music-based AI was treated in an entirely different way, with StabilityAI prioritizing opt-in and public domain work. Visual artists were given no such courtesy.
Music labels commonly exercise formidable legal resources that visual artists cannot.

Music sampling, remixing and DJ... there are whole subcultures around this.

Because they have money and power to sue and will. While visual artists usually don't.
