Boss Musc
Some hard hitting music for your boss fight, or strong conflict.
Disclaimer: Use of AI in Music Production
The rhythms and melodies in this track were generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. These AI technologies were applied to blend various styles and genres of music. No specific artist, track, lyrics, or musical composition was referenced during the production process. A unique combination of digital and analog processes was then applied to create distinctive sounds. The focus was on creating an original composition, not replicating any existing work. Hopefully the lawyers will clear this mess up soon so we can use these amazing resources without fear. The AI tool used for this is Suno v3.5. https://suno.com/terms

is this ai? if so could you please add a warning to the description
This a great idea! I'm all about the responsible promotion of Atrificail Intelegence in the creative world.
Per site submission guidelines, please indicate in the description above: the specific AI technologies used, their versions, and a link to the AI technologies' Terms of Use page.
The terms for submitting music on the platform specify certain requirements that differ notably from those for art, particularly when AI is involved. For music, submissions must meet specific technical standards for format and quality, such as a minimum of 128kbps for MP3s, though higher-quality formats like OGG and FLAC are preferred. This is different from the requirements for art, where the emphasis is on ensuring non-watermarked, usable submissions without technical limitations on format. While both art and music submissions need to be provided in usable formats, the precise audio format rules for music add an additional layer of specificity.
A key distinction for AI-generated submissions lies in how the platform treats AI-generated art versus music. AI-assisted artwork is currently download-disabled due to intellectual property concerns, while music doesn't have a similar blanket restriction on AI-generated content. The platform mandates that anyone submitting AI-generated art must declare the technology and version used, linking to the AI tool's terms of use. Music submissions, by contrast, focus on technical quality and do not require disclosure of whether AI was used, unless explicitly tied to copyright issues.
If you feel this is in error, then I recommend taking it up with the site and requesting that they update their Terms and Services, demanding that they include AI music in the requirements.
Also, demand that they list which AI technologies are included in the mandate. I have countless algorithms that create music programmatically, from simple arpeggiators to $1,000 effects pedals.
That is incorrect.
"Art" includes music. All submissions on this site are forms of art, not just graphical art. The requirements for AI assisted art submissions apply to music in the same way.
All AI tools (GANs et al) apply to this requirement. It is your responsibility as the submitter to list which technologies were used in the creation of the assets above. If you are unable or unwilling to do so, I must remove the submission.
Please tell us more about why we should be worried about Nintendo chasing after us if we use your resources. Are you hosting materials that you did not 100% create?
Yes. Almost all of the assets on this site I did not 100% create. Fortunately, those that did create them have a clear provenance and licensing.
Currently, AI assisted assets do not. I hope that changes, but until then, it is a legal risk for our users to utilize AI assets. Which is why they are flagged as having a "potential licensing issue."
The motivations for this are already outlined in the submission guidelines and the "AI Assisted Artwork" collection, which you have seen, but apparently need some clarification. It would be better to address any questions you have on that thread, but I am happy to answer questions here as well, if you would prefer.
As you wish. I hope it changes too. Please make a carification in the music section as well.
That doesn't seem necessary. Again, the word "Art" means music, sound effects, 3D models, textures, 2D images, and concept art, and documents. The submission guidelines talking about "A.I. Artwork" apply to all artwork, including music. This is not an obscure use of the word "artwork" that needs additional clarification. There is also a section about Copyright and Trademarks as well, yet it doesn't explicitly mention music. Are you assuming the copyright and trademark guidelines therefore don't apply to music?
Pretty Please?
... With sugar on top?
@Bump'n Todd: Thank you for linking to the Suno TOS page. Having reviewed some of it, I am concerned by the following section: "Conditions of Access and Use" § "Commercial Use"
(Emphasis mine) If the output of Suno cannot be used for any commercial purposes, the derivatives (above) are not compatible with the CC0* license *(or any other license accepted on OGA) because CC0* allows commercial use. Please let me know if I am missing a detail of the TOS that would shed some different light on my interpretation.
That's an interesting passage. I'll have my lawyer take a look at that. The best I can do is say that I have a paid subscription that allows for commercial use:
Faq: https://suno-ai.notion.site/FAQs-b72601b96de44e5cacd2cd6baa985448
...
FAQ:
Who owns the songs I generate using Suno?
If you are a paying subscriber to Suno, then you own the songs you generate while subscribed to Pro or Premier, subject to your compliance with Suno’s Terms of Service.
If you are using a free version of Suno, we retain ownership of the songs you generate, but you are allowed to use those songs for non-commercial purposes, subject to your compliance with Suno’s Terms of Service.
Suno is best suited for making new music with new lyrics, and you must obtain permission for any and all lyrics and other content that you upload to Suno or otherwise incorporate into your songs. See Suno’s Terms of Service for a more detailed discussion about the ownership and usage rules for the content generated using Suno.
LOL! What sort of clarification did you have in mind?
And I think (hope?) that pairs with the rest of the Terms:
Commercial Use: Subject to the Content Section below, unless otherwise expressly authorized herein or in the Service, you agree not to display, distribute, license, perform, publish, reproduce, duplicate, copy, create derivative works from, modify, sell, resell, grant access to, transfer, or otherwise use or exploit any portion of the Service, and any Output, for any commercial purposes.
Ah, I see. There are different terms for paying members. Now we need to determine if the difference in terms allows you to share the output, for commercial purposes, with other non-pro/non-premier users. Do you see where the different terms for pro/premier users are listed? and also, were you a pro or premier user at the time the above assets were generated?
I guess "This covers anything uploaded to the site that was fully or in part created by AI"
Yes, I am a paid member. The comercial rights are covered (hopefully0 in th terms and service and also on the pricing page.
I'm curious if you feel that having a comercial licence from that site makes a difference. Does it impact liability in any way? I feel that the issues that the site cares about still apply.
Is that not already made apparent by the following definition of "A.I. Artwork"?
I can't seem to find anywhere in the terms and services where that is indicated, or what is (differently) allowed. As you noted, the TOS say "unless otherwise expressly authorized herein or in the Service", but the issue now is that I can't actually find where that is "otherwise expressly authorized." I am guessing it is, just not where I've been looking.
Yes, it definitely does.
Perhaps not enough of a difference, if we can't find where they indicate your irrevokable ownership under pro/premeir membership, butas the owner you would have the copyright to license it and the derivatives as CC0 or however else you wanted... (assuming the courts don't kabosh the whole AI thing due to infringment of training data, but that is an issue out of our hands, so we're leaving that part alone until they make a decision)Liability? Well, yes. If you don't have a pro/premier membership when you created the assets, but then share the assets with others, and those others use them for commercial purposes, they have violated the terms of Suno downstream, which makes you liable for sharing them and implicitly (CC0 license) telling others they can use them in commercal applications.
I'm not sure what you mean. Which site? OGA or Suno? What issues?
Aha! found it: https://help.suno.com/en/articles/2421505
Good. You own the songs and can distribute them how you want, including for free as you have done here.
Per the "Pro tip" on the same page, are you able to share your invoice for the membership, by chance? It will serve as provenance for this and any other songs you produce and share here.
Perhaps yes, but "AI Art" is taking on the brand identity of visual art. I feel that Music is a grey area and code/text is not covered at all.
That's a good question. I'll ask the lawyer.
The issue of who is liable in the end, if the hammer comes down, and how to manage the risk.
Sure. I can send you a copy. Probably best not to post it to the profile. It might get copied.
I think you're assuming that brand identity. Everything on the site reinforces the broader usage of "Artwork" beyond just visual arts. You selected the "Art type: music" when submitting, musicians are referred to as "Artists", etc. However, I will see if there is a place to further clarify that "art" and "artwork" mean more than just visual arts.
I don't think there is a need to consult your lawyer about "otherwise expressly authorized" since we found where sumo is asserting you own it so long as you had an active membership at the time.
Re: liability in the end; I see what you're saying now. I don't know where the total liability would fall, or what portion would be yours, OGA's, or end users, but I do know that a substantial amount of risk could be placed upon the end user; people downloading assets from OGA. The whole point of OGA is that people can come here and download assets and use them in their projects without having to worry about hidden or unrealized liability. This is why if there is even the potential for asset users to be liable, even without their knowledge, we must halt the downloads until we are certain there is no liability.
Of course, it could be argued that anything created by a person that evokes an emotion could be considered art. By that definition, my farts are art (and probably worth a fortune in a Dada art exhibition.) Let's hope that AI never becomes involved in fart production :).
I feel like I need to get clarification from my lawyer, just to understand what the potential liability issues are in the wider world and to get some information about the current cases. If I am to stay on this path, I need to know more about the issues. I'd be happy to share what he says. The more I read about it, the more interesting and strange things become.
I agree. With that in mind, please be sure to adhere to the site guidelines when submitting your farts to OGA :P
P.S. Clarification to submission guidelines has been added. Mainly in referring to all submitted content as Assets where the term "Art" could be ambiguous.
P.P.S: Joking aside, a good fart sound effect would genuinely be a useful addition to the archive. There are so many games that could benefit from quality farting sounds.
Sure thing.
There is an AI for that. Several, apparently.
