No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I keep ending up with AI music in my playlist when exploring for me music. What is your workflow to avoid it? Searching DDG for me has been more bandwidth intensive than I like...

Some background. My favorite song is a song I haven't heard yet. And my appetite sways wildly. One month it's old school urban rap, the next it's kpop, and then Nordic death metal and so on.

I never know what I'll be in the mood for but I'll find a thread with a song I don't know and use it to build play lists to see what I find and sometimes I find trash gems that way.

This last time our friend group watched Eurovision 2026 together and some of those songs are bangers. One of them led to adding a few artists built off of playlists from that song I really liked, and they all ended up being AI... damnit!

It can be presumed that Spotify is doing that to some degree. There is consensus amongst scientists studying the field, artists, labels and other people in the field about that.

The public domain thing is kind a useless argument at this point; It is the case law we are building upon currently but that's basically just because haven't gotten a broader legal framework yet and we're still making AI fit into what we have.

But we don't have to answer by citing to the law, we can answer by looking at the ethics and expecting the law to loosely follow our ethics - that's what it is designed to do.

  • AI takes ideas from other artists without giving credit
  • AI is trained on art without paying for it
  • AI can use other artists branding and likeness without their consent
  • artists make less because AI takes an increasingly bigger cut of the revenue (it's kinda zero-sum, but let's skip that conversation)
  • AI music can only exist because artists exist, SE we need to keep paying artists enough to keep working
  • AI might is possibly being used in some instances for money laundering

And so on.

I'm trying to say this because the law is there to follow our feelings. If we structurally don't condone something to a certain level as a society, we make it illegal or we regulate it.

And as you can see, there's plenty of reasons to regulate and some are straight up financial, so we definitely should do something about it.

And with "we" I mean specifically the Republicans and Democrats, the FCC (regulation to combat market disruption), judges, civil rights lawyers, and possible plaintiffs all have the chance to push us into a better position societally.

Shoutout to Bernie Sanders, he's trying to start a movement about it, and as always he's ahead of the curve in Congress.

  • AI music can only exist because artists exist, SE we need to keep paying artists enough to keep working

You're wrong about that. Plenty of people do music as a hobby. There will always be more content to scrape. Expecting the system to crash because nobody plays music anymore is unrealistic.
