NEW: Musician Murphy Campbell says she isn’t making money on YouTube because an AI company is cloning her music and filing copyright claims against her own videos “An entity called Timeless Sounds IR uploaded AI-generated versions of my songs to all major streaming platforms... They used a distributor, which I just discovered, and that distributor’s name is Vydia. They used Vydia to upload all these AI-generated songs. Vydia has since decided to make copyright claims on all of the videos that were used to feed that AI engine to sound like me. So Vydia has come forward and made copyright claims on my YouTube page. Because YouTube does not personally review these things, I am no longer making money on YouTube. Vydia is making money on YouTube off of my own videos of me playing my own banjo in my own backyard with traditional folk songs, some for my own family, over AI-generated music.”

when she said she wrote this in an interview & 2 days later everyone found the original song😭

and she was mad as hell about it. for the record.

So everyone just dumb and stupid

I would be more concerned about why people in the world's sixth richest country can't afford cheese

So instead of trying to create a sample that could be in a museum or something they made a fucking purse??? Not even dinosaurs are safe from being used so some wealthy person can walk around with a handbag made of their skin.

😭 London’s theatre scene is older than the United States itself…….

ADHD is not being able to clean your own kitchen for 6 days but volunteering at a community event for 6 hours on a Saturday because other people's needs activate your brain in ways your own needs don't.
