  • In an article for Music Business Worldwide, Ed Newton-Rex argued that Udio just creates thinly disguised versions of copyrighted songs. To "prove" it, he gave the following prompt:
    ---
    A famous 70s pop song about queens who dance, by a Swedish band that rhymes with fabba, europop, disco, keyboard, from an album that rhymes with jarrival
    ---
    ... then posted a result claiming that it's similar. Except he felt the need to hack the result down to just four seconds of "similarity", after who knows how many generations of trying to find something similar.
    To test what it actually does in response to his prompt, here are five pairs of generations (seeds #0, #2, #4, #6, #8 - note that reusing seeds don't actually guarantee uniqueness in Udio, though it does give "musical similiarity"), in full.
    Ed was trying to deliberately get the tool to violate copyright and reproduce Dancing Queen. Despite the deliberate user attempts, do any of these sound like the specific song "Dancing Queen", rather than, you know, generic europop disco, with lyrics vaguely about queens and dancing, as per user request?
