I get the concern, but I donât think itâs that simple.
Thereâs a huge difference between private user-generated AI remixes for personal listening and letting random people publicly exploit an artistâs work, voice, likeness, or composition without approval.
If itâs public, monetized, searchable, playlisted, or algorithmically pushed â then yes, artists/writers/producers need control, approval, and compensation. No question.
But if itâs basically a personal listening tool â like a user making their own version inside their account that nobody else can hear or profit from â thatâs a different conversation.
The real issue isnât âremixingâ by itself. Music has always had remixes, covers, samples, mashups, edits, DJs, producers flipping records, etc. The issue is consent, control, attribution, and money.
Calling every use âevilâ ignores the fact that technology can be structured in a way that protects creators. But if platforms use AI remixes to flood the market, replace real artists, or let labels/platforms own the upside while creators lose control â then yeah, thatâs a major problem.
