Why We Need a '100% Handmade' Music Label Instead of Broad AI Tags

The author argues that as AI tools become deeply integrated into music production plugins (like Melodyne), the current broad categories of 'AI-made' or 'AI-assisted' lack nuance. They unfairly equate artists using AI as a tool with fully AI-generated content. The author suggests introducing a '100% Handmade' label, similar to artisan goods, to reward artists who invest labor into traditional craftsmanship. This would help listeners find and support such work and provide a fairer attribution system as technological lines blur.
