> The filmmaker and screenwriter, known for popular Bollywood movies including Company, Rangeela, Sarkar, and Satya has launched a venture, called RGV Den Music, that will only feature music generated from AI apps including Suno and Udio, he told TechCrunch. Varma said he will use the AI-generated music in all his projects, including movies. The entire background score on his new feature movie, called Saree, is also AI-generated, he said. In an interview, Varma urged artists to embrace AI rather than resist it. "Eventually, the music comes from your thoughts. You need to have clarity on what you want the app to produce. It's the taste that will matter," he said.

Star Wars spin-offs (Score:2)
Would that sound like the tunes of all the Star Wars spin-offs by Disney? Tunes you can't remember because there is no musical flow in them, but you can hear that in a galaxy far, far away the original tune was their basis?

Is AI creative, or regurgitate? If the latter, then the film maker is using what essentially a human created and isn't getting royalties for.
Re: (Score:2)
Regurgitate at least for "generative" AI. The mathematics do not allow anything else.

We should call it "Derivative AI" instead of "Generative AI". It is a like a washing machine. You put everything inside, it gets blended and the dirty copyright gets cleaned.

What I am interested to know is
a) Will that work with regards to the audience?
and
b) Will that result in copyright problems or not?

Doesn't matter. The RIAA is not picky about who it sends takedown notices to...

RIAA is puny and pathetic compared to medical industry in terms of trigger happiness of lawsuits for copyright and patent violations.
India doesn't give a shit. Their medical industry exports tens of billions worth of medicines to the world, a lot of them under patent elsewhere and considered generic in India. That makes the sales number more impressive than it seems, because they sell medicines at generic level of prices rather than patented. It makes them world's biggest vaccine exporter too.
