Or just don't put awful music in the jukebox?

And in the case of musicians: WILL.

Not sure about the rights situation in the US, but here in Europe, playing a CD to a wider audience - like patrons of a bar - counts as performance. You don't get a license for that by just buying a CD. Same with movies.

0,5% of sales is not a lot. If you (and your customers) don't, just pay some AI-generated slop

if a game is too complex for me to comprehend all strategies and outcomes, I make an effort to be at least unpredictable. d'oh.

if something is AI or not.... Why does it make a difference then? "a connection with the artist; we can learn about their life and what influenced them to better understand their career"- all fine and dandy, but if that story that fabricates a connection is also fabricated by AI, does it make the music better? And, if an artist wants to stay anonymous, or pretends, he/she is a fictional character, does it make the music worse? Sure, for people who prefer or need a little make-pretend - but they are usually quite good at lying to themselfes, they don't need AI-labelling to break their illusion.

Seems like it's 70% quality. But when it's wrong, it misses the mark quite obviously. Not like humans who then start blaming others or manage to wiggle through. And, tbh, a lot of employed people only work 30% of their potential. So, I'd rather see AI making tabula rasa with bullshit-jobs first.

I seem to be the only one calling it." - Maybe your search skills are just bad? This is logical, has thus been predicted to make people aware who don't think by themselves and there have been articles written about it. But obviously, you don't become a journalist if you're too lazy to point out and endlessly wax about the obvious as if you're the first person who ever discovered something. (spoken from a journalist's perspective :-) )

Based on experience, there's a difference between what people say they want and what they really need. E.g. policians promoting a subjective feeling of security and objective security. Or most people wanting a keyboard on a phone until they got capacitive touchscreens.

Although this could help with peace. Keep people away from Teams and that humanitarian deed may get you to keep the Krim.

as some other studies predict, that seems pretty efficient.

yes and they keep acces to your transaction data for the longest time possible (I think, about a month). Isn't it widely known that klarna lives off collecting and selling customer data? I don't use it for exactly that reasen. And I also didn't really trust giving that instant money transfer feature access to my account (although it required the 2fa of my bank and was only valid for 5 minutes, so it was more worry than actual risk)

isn't it just the principle of a credit? I'd rather say, it's tied to the belief that tomorrow's income will be not less than today's. Which I never had, so I never used that principle, apart from buying a carrier-subsidized phone once.

so their position is understandable. They are fighting a losing battle anyway - in the long term, AI-Voices won't try to replicate a human actor - nothing more to negotiate.

Nah, it's not, it's the typical Apple-fuckery a lot of developers tell tales about. It's like their customer service - if they don't want to, they hang you out to dry.
