@mosgaard Oops, sorry! Apparently I still don't understand how Mastodon links work! 😅

I'll fix it immediately.

@mosgaard Morten, I would like to turn this into a blog post. Is it okay that I include your replies, and post the entire conversation? I'd like to keep your perspectives on nuance. Of course, if you allow it, I'll link to the Mastodon thread, and extend my thanks to you.

It's basically a blog without an audience – this is just for convenience and readability. It's easier to post a link to a blog post on Bluesky than split it into 30 posts!

@mosgaard Point 3 I think is true. But I also think, unfortunately, that it's a shift that can't really be stopped – beyond trying to create new opportunities within a new reality.

Lots of thoughts on this subject, sorry! 😅 6/end

@mosgaard or (in Pond5's case) wholesale bans, effectively excluding everyone apart from those with an acoustic guitar and a 4-track recorder.

And then there's that track that was recently excluded from the Swedish charts (a lovely little piece, if you ask me!) because AI was used, and because the artist's identity was… um, “unclear”? 😄

This point is going to become a real battleground — and one I'll be following with great interest. 5/

@mosgaard (where the only politically corrent and generally accepted answer in circulation at the time seemed to be: "Yes, it's possible, but only if you're Kraftwerk")

And right now, you're already seeing some fairly political, almost boilerplate statements, where platforms like Bandcamp and Pond5 exclude AI, but only (in Bandcamp's case) offer vague definitions of what is actually acceptable and what isn't, 4/
