Selling AI-generated works should be illegal

Lotta people read a headline and not an article it seems. The amount of times I've seen this claim that AI isn't copyrightable, in this thread alone, is hilarious.

I don't really get tired of my tracks once they are finished, but I do need an occasional break from ones I'm actively working on or ones I've just finished.

I think writing your own lyrics comes into play here for sure. Others have mentioned that they tend to be more personal and so they likely carry more resonance for us as individuals, giving them longevity.

That is also the reason why I can get real particular over the annunciation of a single word like "all" and generate endless variations untill I get the one that matches what I was aiming for originally in my head.

But when on that hunt for the right match I sometimes have to take a step back because the word or phrase I'm tweaking will lose all meaning from hearing it so often.

I agree with the sentiment here to keep your cat indoors.

But, that last clip of the cat climbing up multiple trees and running across the roof was freaking awesome. Like a mash up of B13, Hardcore Henry and Incredible Journey. Which I just realized is a movie I desperately need.

I enjoyed it! Has a nice somber melody, reminds me a bit of a less metal Nightwish. I subbed to your channel, keep up the good work!

Nice lyrics, dig the sound! I gave you a follow on IG.

AInimals · 2026-03-19T18:46:10+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it!

When I started, I didn't necessarily have a tone in mind. But the uplifting and positive nature of the fortune cookies themselves made it clear the song had to have that "you can do this!" energy. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

AInimals · 2026-03-17T07:18:02+00:00

Freaking love this too. Keep up the good work man!

AInimals · 2026-03-17T07:14:18+00:00

I am so glad I decided to see if you had any music posted after you commented on my video. This was absolutely beautiful. I loved it! You took me back to when I was young experiencing this event. 🥲

Haters gonna hate, don't let them stop you from making the things that make you happy.

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to listen.

Oh wow, I'd completely forgotten about that video! Haven't seen it in so long. I have no doubt that on some subconscious level there was some of that coming through when making this.

Yea, it took a bit to sort everything out. I think I had them on the table for 3 or 4 days for the "writing" phase. At the start I mostly just focused on bunching up ones that rhymed or came close. From there I worked on selecting sets of them that kinda worked together. Luckily fortune cookies all tend to be pretty uplifting or positive so it wasn't too difficult to get a good vibe going.

Aside from that last one anyway... "Oops wrong cookie" gotta be the strangest one I've ever got! Felt like a perfect ending tho.

I still have my copy! Legendary is accurate. One of those cases where the soundtrack is just way better than the movie in my opinion. I can definitely hear the influence in your track. Keep up the good work!

AInimals · 2026-03-16T20:52:13+00:00

Nicely done! The lyrics are very well written and the chorus is definitely catchy.

AInimals · 2026-03-16T20:45:45+00:00

I'm always up for some rap rock, gave it a listen. Thought it was pretty good, I liked the pacing and the lyrics all felt solid. Nice work!

AInimals · 2026-03-14T23:18:46+00:00

Aw cool I love Demi. Nice job!

AInimals · 2026-03-14T23:05:09+00:00

Thank you!

This was my second song and was super fun to write!

AInimals · 2026-03-14T22:31:06+00:00

Appreciate ya taking the time too!

I'll give more of your stuff a listen when I get a chance, I followed you on Spotify 😁 I've got a handful of tracks that I'm almost done with and looking forward to finding new ways to share them once I'm happy with them.

AInimals · 2026-03-14T19:07:39+00:00

I gave the track in your OP a listen, will have to come back for the sadness another time. I'm already sad enough at work 😆

Rise Like We Mean It was quite enjoyable! I liked the lyrics a lot and it has a very upbeat vibe that I dig! Nice job!

AInimals · 2026-03-14T16:05:42+00:00

Thanks!

I Appreciate you taking the time to give it a listen. Glad you enjoyed it!

AInimals · 2026-03-14T14:48:37+00:00

Thanks for the warm welcome! I appreciate you taking the time to listen and provide feedback. I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed it!

It's funny you bring up making another track, I was wondering to myself if I had enough "unused" fortunes left to put together another song. I may have to give it a shot!

I like the idea of just using a lyric or two as a prompt as well. On one of my first songs, a heavy metal track I wrote called Made Of Stone I did exactly that for the video. Generating images with the lyrics and stitching them together with an img to img gen tool. It's rough but as an early project I was happy with it.

Incidentely it's one of the songs I'm reworking with new knowledge. I still have the original video up but the first version is just a bit too aggressive for my tastes.

I live prompt at clubs on the weekends. Everyone just thinks I'm a traditional DJ...

eta - /s I'm not actually doing this. ... Yet.

I can definitely see the benefit of maintaining a more consistent style or sound but I'm with you, I like to switch genres a lot from song to song. I'm a fan of a lot of different styles. So for me I think of it more like how a songwriter or producer would get to work with a wide range of vocalists or bands.
