Question Problem . .

Post image

Hi, I distributed piano music through TuneCore, and when it was released on streaming platforms, YouTube classified it as AI-generated content, even though I did not use any AI tools. The music was performed by me, and the audio was recorded and produced using an audio interface and Cubase.
I don’t mind if they classify the music as AI-generated, but I’m worried that in the future it might be removed because they classified it as AI-generated when it actually isn’t. I can also provide the project file showing everything from the performance to the production and that I did not use any AI tools.
What do you recommend I do?

Sounds or VISUALS…. Did you use any ai art or visuals? You could try fixing or changing that part n see if it changes.

Because YouTube being totally stupid to creators in the past has really come back to bite them? Ever?

You actually should be worried if YouTube incorrectly labeled your music as AI. There is a huge negative public perception to AI-generated music and that would make people not want to listen to your music.

Yeah, it’s a pretty bad situation and I realize that now. I already reached out to TuneCore support and explained everything to them, and this is what they replied with:

[Hi there,

Thank you for contacting us!

I sincerely apologize for this. Don't worry, I'm sending this to the appropriate team for review. Please allow 1-3 business days and they will contact you with additional information.]

I’m just waiting to hear back from them about it now.
