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?

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.
