Hatsune Miku sweating bullets all of a sudden.
Real talk though, there’s a whole genre of non-slop vocaloid music that these policies might affect, if I’m reading the rules strictly.
Yeah, I really wonder where Synth V created songs will fall under this rule, cause even though the VAs were paid and it still requires good tuning, they're technically AI... Maybe the older songs and the new popular songs will be fine due to having recognition, but any new small time producers are gonna suffer if they've got boys doing the checking.
I don't use Spotify, but I assume they do know Vocaloid (and Miku) exists right? At least YT music has a recommended playlist for vocaloid songs anyway.
Edit: I know that Miku isn't AI, and I'd never call her + the others AI. But Krypton has given Miku and the others AI voicebanks recently (although I heard the aren't that good) and Synth V is getting more popular (Teto, Yi Xi, Elanor Forte, etc.). Hell, there are some Synth V songs that I've heard that I thought were real people...
But I'm worried about those who don't know this info just doing a blanket "no robots/no AI" and nuking Vocaloid/V Synth songs
