Idea for a new subforum - AI Music?

[XanderAnthony]

With AI-generated music becoming more popular, would anyoe else like to see a sub-forum designated to it? Grimes is allowing producers to use of her AI Voice so long as she gets 50% royalties, and there are several "GrimesAI" tracks officially released on Spotify now. There is an AI Mariah Carey cover of Justin Timberlake's "Selfish" that's going mildly viral, with thousands of videos on tiktok using it, one of them with over 500k views, and another with over 200k. I know AI Music is controversial, but I can't help but find it somewhat fascinating. I come to Pulse everyday (sometimes multiple times per day) for news on what's going on with my fave artists, radio formats, charts, and if anyone else finds (well-done) AI generated music interesting as I do, a designated sub-forum would be a nice place to stay on top of/discover some of what's happening and popular in the realm of AI- Generated music. Just a suggestion, I hope this is okay I've posted this here.

Hey XanderAnthony - I'm so sorry, I just realized we never came back to you on this suggestion. Following your post, we did discuss your idea but we felt like it was a little too early to create an entire sub-forum for AI music right now.

We feel like there are three appropriate places to currently discuss AI music/songs:

• Within an artist's current thread - if there's an AI song worth sharing and discussing
• A new thread within the 'Non-Radio Singles & Album Tracks' board - if there's an AI song that is especially going viral/getting radio play and creating a lot of discussion that might otherwise clog an artist's main discussion thread
• A new thread within the 'Let's Talk Business' board - to discuss the business aspect of AI songs and the impact on the music industry

If you wanted one place for people to share new AI covers, I don't think it would be unreasonable to create a new thread within 'The Lounge', specifically for people to share YouTube links etc for new/favorite AI covers - similar to the existing 'What Are You Listening To?' thread.
