Bandcamp, a major music distribution platform favored by indie artists, announced Tuesday that it would be “putting human creativity first” by outright banning AI-generated songs — and music aficionados are rejoicing. According to the company, music and audio generated “wholly or in substantial part by AI” will no longer be permitted on the platform. Furthermore, using AI tools “to impersonate other artists or styles” is also “strictly prohibited,” representing a comprehensive crackdown on the tech. With many a “hell yeah” and a simple “good,” fans have reacted to the measure with an outpouring of joy. Spotify’s policies allow AI-generated music, and it’s only taken action against AI tunes in cases when scammers have used it to fraudulently farm listens for money.
