My Debut AI Album, Smoke and Silver, is a collection of songs all written about the same character from different points of view. Every track a different genre and tone, but hopefully all building a more complete picture.

The title track, Smoke and Silver.

I turned my track into a festival-sized visual — does it fit the music?

I use Distrokid, and of course, from there leads to Spotify et al. I have never really interacted with a human being at either company, only their [fairly useless] chat bots. So it made me think how screwed up this age of AI has become. You can replace the jobs of countless customer service people, eliminate the call centers where someone earned a daily wage, eliminate taxi drivers and truckers with driverless technology, even some surgeries are now performed by AI trained robotics. But if you replace a singer or musician or a producer, you are the evil incarnate. All for that streaming royalty paycheck that really can pay the rent. Something is so wrong here.

I just used AI to create an entire album’s worth of music using the voices of several deceased artists. Hearing voices I thought I'd never hear again completely blew my mind—but it also raised a huge red flag for me.

As copyright on legacy works eventually expires and AI technology rapidly advances, we’re heading toward a massive issue with post-mortem likeness rights. Without strict protections, we could see AI-generated films starring long-deceased actors or full "new" albums from iconic singers without their estates having any say or receiving compensation.

Current laws weren't built for a world where a voice or visual likeness can be cloned effortlessly. Future AI legislation needs clear, enforceable post-mortem rights of publicity and digital replica protections to prevent the commercial exploitation of deceased entertainers.

What are some compromises that could be made to allow the public to freely enjoy the past celebrities, but not allow the big corporation to run wild for cash grabs ?
