Der wandelnde Widerspruch hat wieder zugeschlagen. Nachdem KuchenTV auf X den Block-Button gedrückt hat (starke Kritikfähigkeit, Bro!), packen wir hier die nackte Realität auf den Tisch.

Vom großen Anti-Woke-Kämpfer zum zahmen "Ich sehe keine Farben".
An EhrlichErvin (Proletopia) und Canbroke beißt er sich die Zähne aus, während Künstler wie Raportagen zeigen, wie echtes Niveau und Qualität ohne billigen Gossip funktionieren.
Frage an die Community: Ist KuchenTV im Jahr 2026 jetzt komplett woke geworden? Schreibt es mir unbedingt in die Kommentare!

An AI music flooder already made thousands of dollars they withdrew from Distrokid (see thread I linked below). Now Distrokid has blocked their account from withdrawing funds after they tried to withdraw $70,000 in only a couple of months. a couple more months have passed and their total should be up to $140,000 in revenue for them if their account wasn't blocked. Of course they probably used all manner of tricks like bots (probably massive bot farms gaming the system). This is totally professional grade scamming.

But this is what us musicians and music producers using DAWs are angry about. This what we mean when we say people are stealing money that could have gone to us instead. Some of you need to realize how bad AI music flooding has gotten, and just how huge the money these people are are making.

NOTHING AGAINST YOU PERSONALLY: I have nothing against you actual music lovers out there who found AI was the only way you were able to follow your passion. Sure, I'm against the environmental aspect of AI server farms, but I'm sure environmentally safe in the box AI on your own computer is probably just around the corner, which can negate that.

MY POINT: There needs to be full clarity about and labeling of AI generated music and partially AI generated music. The people who think its funny to not label AI music, do so at your own chagrin. Why? Because even if you are not making much money but you hide that your music is made with AI, people like me are going to just assume you are hiding that your music is AI because you are are one of the huge music platform AI flooders making tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars by elbowing us musicians and music producers out of the money pool. Just like the the AI music flooder lawyering up to try and get $140,000 of money that doesn't belong to him from Distrokid below:

Is anyone else tired of people’s posts and comments starting with “I’ve been making music since 1912….” Prior to giving their opinion or feedback as if people who haven’t dedicated every second of their life to learning an instrument doesn’t have the ability to decide what good music sounds like. Or that people who don’t put a thousand hours into a song shouldn’t say that they made it. As if the existence of that song wasn’t because of them in the first place.

I fully expect plenty of hate for sharing this viewpoint and am fine with it. Yes, I make and distribute what some are going to consider slop. Yes, I’d love to share what I make with the audience that it’s intended for. Yes, I understand I’m not a musician and don’t claim to be. At the end of the day I still have my opinions of what is good and bad and have the right to share them.

Sorry for the short rant, but just wanted to see if I’m the only one feeling fatigue over the pointless hate and gatekeeping.

I have heard and received hate for building in AI music.

People say AI is going to replace musicians.

I don’t think that’s what happens.

I think AI creates an entirely new category of musician.

Every major shift in music technology has changed who gets to create.

When recording technology arrived, music changed.

When synthesizers arrived, music changed.

When sampling and digital production arrived, music changed.

A producer using a laptop today can create sounds that would have been impossible decades ago.

AI feels like another shift.

The skill doesn’t disappear — it moves.

It becomes less about access to expensive equipment or the ability to play every instrument.

It becomes more about taste, creativity, storytelling, direction, emotion, and building something people connect with.

The tools become available to everyone.

The hard part becomes standing out.

A million people can use the same AI model and still create completely different things because ideas, taste, and vision are human.

I don’t believe human musicians disappear.

I believe we’re about to see a new category of creators emerge alongside traditional artists.

Maybe I’m wrong, but every major creative tool was criticized before it became normal.

Curious what everyone thinks:

Is AI music the end of musicians — or the beginning of something new?

I almost quit. Instead I sat with the actual problem, which was never licensing. It’s that AI musicians have nowhere to exist. Streaming platforms flag you or quietly demonetize you. Distributors reject you. Udio signed with a major label and walled the garden — you can’t even take your own tracks with you anymore. You make something real and every platform treats it like contraband.

Copyright isn’t coming back for AI works. But provenance is possible. You can’t own the track — you can prove you made it, when, and how. So I rebuilt Cambrian around that. Every track gets an Authorship Record: a timestamped attestation of creation, stamped on-chain so the proof lives outside any platform’s database — including mine. No tokens, no wallets, no crypto anything. The blockchain is just the notary.

Around it, the rest of what a home needs. A storefront that’s actually yours — your page, your catalog, fans support you directly. And Release Ready, a mastering pipeline that takes raw Suno or Udio output to release quality, because “sounds like a demo” is the other stick people beat AI musicians with.

Honest state of things: it’s early and I’m a solo dev in Alabama with no funding. I’m not going to pretend there’s a crowd here yet. What I’m looking for is founding creators — I’ll onboard you myself, upload your catalog, master your tracks, build your page with you. In exchange you tell me what’s broken.

If you’ve been burned by a takedown or a walled garden, I’d genuinely like to hear the story. That’s the thing I’m building against.

Not the Right Time
Grunge meets synthwave. Heavy guitars, retro-futuristic atmospheres, and a late-night saxophone.
Feedback welcome.

I have been writing songs. I didn’t even know what genre was. I uploaded my songs on soundcloud (private). Me, no confidence. I have a cheap acoustic guitar that I use to chase melodies and chords. I knew about AI but sceptical, then I made a research. And boy, wish I'd known AI much earlier as my frustration was always not having someone to sing my songs, or someone who could make my songs sound better since I don’t have any musical training. AI is my collab band.
