MODERATORS
I feel like you're making valid points for interesting use of the technology. The problem is that only accounts for such a small percentage of AI output, that it is impossible to moderate for. It takes someone very skilled with the tech to be able to achieve what you are describing. I also don't think anyone is going to nitpick over someone performing a song written by AI as the artists performance is the human element we identify with.
Ban AI here and there can be another community for that kind of content.
I agree that we should start with a ban all AI content. But we could easily make exceptions for actual effortposts like those listed in the parent comment. It's not a huge leap. AI slop? Banned. Novelty from someone who used a tool that included AI? Well its not really slop, so don't ban it.
I disagree, it's not that hard to moderate. Lemmy is not a legal system, if a mod mistake happens no one gets hurt. Appeals are easy, and you can specify in the rules that AI content must come with a disclaimer and description of why its OK if it wants to stay, otherwise it gets banned with everything else AI.
For the 0.1% "OK" AI songs mods just have to stop and read a sentence description, its not an overwhelming burden for something that maybe comes through once a month.
If it's rare, then there won't be enough of it to sustain another community. An easy way to moderate for this could be to just ban outputs of the most popular, easy to use tools like Suno, and ask for an explanation of the process to be provided.
That assumes the majority of submissions would be from users that are prompting themselves instead of "hey I found this and wanted to share" posts.
It doesn't have to, that could be disallowed (or at least require a link back to the artist who explains their methods). Also, a ban on generative AI would also apply to use of machine learning that doesn't involve text prompts, so this isn't just about prompt derived music.
