Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform (arstechnica.com)

I think you might misunderstood what Bandcamp is aiming for here. They're explicitly trying to still allow it when humans are using it (responsibly) as tools. This is essentially a ban on AI where no human is involved (or not involved enough), where the music produced is focused on quantity over quality (slop). That's a fine and nuanced distinction for a music distribution platform in my opinion.

Ok, if this is just a spam prevention I think it's fine. Obviously I didn't read the article (as tradition mandates).
