Oh, *Great*. Another One.

Right, so ElevenLabs – those clowns who already messed up text-to-speech enough – have now decided they’re music experts. They launched some AI music generator called “ElevenLabs Music” and are patting themselves on the back because they claim it’s legally safe for commercial use. Yeah, right. Like *that* hasn’t been said before.

Apparently, it’s trained on royalty-free stuff and some other data they conveniently aren’t detailing. They’re offering a limited free tier (because of course) and then subscription plans for more… garbage. It lets you create tracks with prompts, change styles, and all the usual AI fluff. They’ve got some “voice cloning” features too, which is just begging for lawsuits.

The biggest joke? They’re trying to position this as a solution for content creators who can’t afford real musicians. Fantastic. Just what the world needs: more soulless, algorithmically-generated noise flooding every corner of the internet. And you *know* someone’s going to try and pass it off as original work.

Honestly, I give it six months before the legal teams descend like vultures. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. This whole thing smells like a disaster waiting to happen. Expect copyright claims, angry artists, and a lot of panicked backpedaling from ElevenLabs. It’s just… *sigh*… another step closer to complete audio hell.

Speaking of legal nightmares, I once had to debug a system that auto-generated hold music for a call center. Turns out it was sampling snippets from actual songs without permission. The lawyers nearly had a stroke. Good times. Don’t even *ask* about the cease and desist letters.
