Bandcamp takes a stand against AI music, banning it from the platform | TechCrunch

"We want musicians to keep making music, and for fans to have confidence that the music they find on Bandcamp was created by humans," the company said.

I asked someone else this when they posted on this subject: How will they know? Thousands of albums are added there every day. Some of those albums have 200 tracks. There is no way for BandCamp to check for AI music at scale. The tools don’t exist, and they don’t have the personnel to do it, if the tools did exist. I read the article, and it just takes BandCamp’s word for it that they’ll police this. This seems performative.
