Still more laws and regulations. We're already drowning in regulations.

If you start to require such things, then you should also require that labels declare whether the artist indeed sung him/herself, and whether it was their real voice or some autotuned stuff.

How do you complain about regulations, and then insist on more regulations? These seem like two completely orthogonal things to me. One is to prevent unmitigated spam on music platforms. The other corrects your pitch slightly.

"If *you* start to require such things, then *you* should.."

> prevent unmitigated spam on music platforms

That's not the true reason. The reason is that some clever people have found out how to earn money with fake musicians. As a musician myself I can tell you, that such operations make the already completely unjust compensation scheme even worse for real musicians. But even if this scam was avoided, we still would suffer from the exploitative and abhorrent compensation scheme imposed by the record monopolists (who simultaneously claim to represent the interests of artists while primarily lining their own pockets).

If you are interested instead whether it was a real artist or just an AI (or a "stunt performer" pretending to be an artist, which includes all people who can't sing in tune without autotune), then you should be as consistent as the food industry. Personally, I'm more interested in the music itself. It's nice to know who played it, but that doesn't change the musical quality.

The GP never explicitly mentioned law. Now's would be a great time for the recording industry to prove their value by instituting a framework for self-regulation. They could actually differentiate themselves from things like Bandcamp if they had some proper enforcement on this topic. But of course, we know that they're purely extractive, so that won't happen.

> never explicitly mentioned law.

The fellow said "It should be required to include the AI model as a featured artist"; the common means is laws and regulations, like in the food industry.

> They could actually differentiate themselves...

Instead, it will go in exactly the opposite direction: the record monopolists will use AI themselves to further improve their already high margins. They have already secured the technology for this, if you have been following the news about Suno and Udio.

If food can mention artificial ingredients, I see this as effectively the same regulation.
