Proving human contribution may matter more than banning AI in music
Olivier__OG · x · 2026-08-30
In a discussion on leadership in the AI era, the author focuses on AI music: if one song is generated in seconds and another takes a human artist weeks or months, should they be valued the same? Speed is not effort, and output is not authorship.
He highlights the idea of a "proof of life" file — biometrics, location, timestamps, creative provenance and human effort — as a way to show music was connected to a real human process, not just compute. The future of creativity may be about proving contribution rather than banning AI: who made it, how, and what role AI played.
