Bandcamp Should Do More to Protect Artists and Fans

The tide is turning! Good on Bandcamp to act on the AI plague, but I’ve got to say this is toothless. You’ll be able to report music as AI-generated (although I still don’t see the option in the Report form), and Bandcamp has reserved “the right to remove any music on suspicion of being AI-generated.”

A more aggressive approach needs to be enacted, because AI-generated content can easily overwhelm the report form and the resources of Bandcamp to review AI albums, with the use of bots for example. I suggest to integrate a built-in AI-detection tool for music uploaded to Bandcamp that rejects any and all music that it detects is AI-generated, and that flags the account.

We need to take a stronger stance against AI music. AI is a scam from top to bottom. We need to take up arms against AI, and it’s not enough to place a “No AI” sign on the door.
