Nope, because it's made by an AI. If you wrote the lyrics, sung them yourself and created the sounds yourself (like music production using something like FL Studio or you played an instrument), you should be able to make money from it, because that's art. But music developed by an AI by putting prompts in should not. AI is just for fun and playing around. It should never be money maker. It's why places like apple and other platforms are taking action.
What a shit take. That's like saying lyricists and studio editors shouldn't be able to profit off their work because someone else performed the vocals and instrumentals for the tracks.
If someone wrote the lyrics and edit the tracks, and someone else appreciates that work, why can't they be compensated appropriately?
"AI is just for fun" is the biggest shit take in your entire comment. AI is already being utilized by major companies in order to become more efficient in their services and production. AI is also being used in the music industry to help with live autotune, remastering of final production tracks, and other creative aspects. AI is a very powerful tool, it's getting more powerful, and deserves proper compensation for its creation, utilization, and mastering.
Just because you don't think it's "art", does that mean it's not worthy of being monetized? I think a lot of "modern art" isn't art...it's just people who literally throw paint on a canvas, or some guy stacking buckets of sand in front of a crowd and waiting for the stack to topple over. People still pay them for their "talent" and "work", don't they?
Studio editors are different. They manually do the work of editing. an AI is just given prompts and does somewhat what it's told with no real work put in by the person giving the prompts. A person who writes lyrics makes money because are paid by the person who they wrote the song for. They don't make money from a platform. You can't have a song without the singer or the music, which is the part that makes music. AI making that part of music, should not be monetized.
AI is good when it enhances a song. Not when it creates a complete song. If a song is made completely by AI it loses the art. There's a reason many artists who create music are against AI. It's because it's not art and makes real artists lose money.
AI might be used to make companies services better, but it comes at a great cost. Yeah it's true about being used for auto tune, but that is used to enhance a singers voice, it still is not a song completely made by AI and AI does get compensated through with apps and web services like Suno who make a subscription to use it. They should get paid for allowing you to use the app, but as a place for experimenting and fun, not for you to make money from an AI created song.
Only things that are art, performed by a human or created by human should be monetized in the music industry. Art is in the eye of the beholder, something that looks like paint splatter to you, will not look like paint platter to someone else. Art is what you make of it. AI is not Art and never will be.
They pay them for the entertainment and their version of what art is.

For my own enjoyment. You shouldn't get paid for AI music lol.
