I do disagree with him some. I don't think it's important to label an AI with what data it was trained on for copyright purposes for artists to get compensated "fairly". I think we should just get rid of copyright all together. AI has solve the media scarcity problem that copyright was intended to solve. So has recording technology, storage technology, and distribution technology.
Humanity has enough music to last them for the rest of time and has the ability to make more, easily. To make money from performative works or retain ownership of media duplications others have made is not a natural right. It's a right we made up to generate incentives to solve a specific problem that doesn't exist anymore.
I completely agree - that copyright and intellectual property is bullshit, only "defensible" if you have an army of lawyers. Keep your info securely to yourself if you don't want it out there.
Yet it's the world we live in, and it's good to hear diverse points of view.
IMO, more important than the training sources is how it is trained - ie. How to spy, deceive, manipulate, exploit, oppress, and terminate us. And second to that it is proprietary, rather than open-source (as if I'd know how to analyze it - or maybe with AI I could).
The music industry (and all media industries) have manipulated and exploited the artists and the masses enough.
Still, I'd like to hear what a Jimi Hendrix Christmas album would sound like.

Maybe we should make up problems to solve. Or solve more made up problems.

It's all slippery terrain.
