SZA Blasts AI Firms After 238 Songs Used to Train Models, Labels Supporters ‘Disgusting’

SZA Blasts AI Firms After 238 Songs Used to Train Models, Labels Supporters ‘Disgusting’

Grammy-winning singer SZA has condemned artificial intelligence companies for using her music without permission. She revealed that 238 of her tracks were allegedly used by an AI firm to study and replicate elements of her sound. She highlighted the lack of legal protections for Black creators and urged fellow artists not to hand over their work. “DO NOT GIVE AWAY YOUR VIBRANIUM!!! DO NOT TRAIN AI W YOUR GENIUS,” she warned. SZA also slammed those who defend the technology as “disgusting” and added, “THERE’S NOTHING YOU COULD EVER SAY TO ME TO MAKE THIS OKAY.” Her remarks add fuel to ongoing debates about AI-generated music, artist rights, and copyright safeguards.

What do you think motivates these AI firms to scrape artists' entire catalogs without permission or compensation?

I agree—these firms likely put profits over artists' rights, grabbing huge song libraries without proper deals.

It's surprising SZA found exactly 238 tracks used. That level of data harvesting feels unsettling but maybe AI firms think artists won't push back.

I get the outrage, yet streaming services already harvest listener habits to shape playlists. We might be fueling this AI momentum ourselves.

Artists should document licensing agreements carefully and pursue legal counsel before AI firms reuse their work without clear permissions.
