1. Do you agree or disagree with Spotify’s decision not to ban AI-made music? Explain.
I think that is good idea because we must have the open mind for listening new song as well as th worl evolution, the songs also.

2. Do you think we should worry about this problem now? Share your opinion.
I think we shouldn’t worry for this problema because in the actually some singers use autotuning and your voice isn’t real then it is similar to use the IA for create new songs.

3. In general, what do you think about using AI in music?
“Spotify deleted one song created by an AI platform. Software copied the voices of the singers Drake, and The Weeknd.” Do you agree with Spotify in deleting this song on their platform? Why or why not?
The IA could exist if don’t copy the voice of song of singers, if this happens the singers can complain about this, i think that this isn’t right then the singers can note more impact with your professional career.

4. What is one question or concern do you have about AI at the moment?
The first is I don’t know how this program can do something all, is incredible that a machine do this. For other hand, I scary for take our data.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic!

Perhaps this could be a better way for you to express this sentence:

I think that it is good idea because we must have the an open mind for about listening to new songs as well as th the fact that the world is changing evolution, the songs and with it, also the music industry.

Keep being consistent in your writing practice.

1.
I don´t agree with the decision with not to ban. But I think it´s the other way around, Spotify never have been cared about artists and I´m thinking about the evolution of the music, as happened with electronic music, which started with the record in separated tracks drums, guitar, base. This is a new step of the music evolution.
2.
Every step in history was worried about the progress, I´m worried too, I have to study more and I have to think how this will impact my work.
3.
Nowadays this type of creation is not enough to replace the musical creator´s ability to make new things. Nowadays AI in music and other disciplines only is prepared to repeat very well things that were done before.
4.
In my opinion they only have removed this song because they are afraid of Drake and The Weeknd´s lawyers. A company must protected itself, it is a normal decision.
5.
The main question for me is whether my work is not repetitive enough to not be reproduced by AI. Not only in music, many works will be detroyed due to this improvement. A few months ago, AI have problem to make software optimal, but today make better software than before.

You did well in putting across your thoughts about this topic.
