Welcome to a critical conversation shaping the future of music. As artificial intelligence becomes an invisible collaborator in the studio, a heated debate has emerged: should artists and platforms be required to tell you when a song is AI-generated? This episode dives deep into the arguments for and against transparency in an AI-infused musical world.

We explore the case of "Heart on My Sleeve," the viral deepfake song that perfectly mimicked Drake and The Weeknd, fooling millions and triggering a music industry showdown. It's a perfect example of the central pain point: in a world with flawless AI impersonations, can we still trust our ears? This situation questions the very nature of artistic identity and what it means to be a fan when the artist might not be real.

In this episode, you will discover:

- Does the "magic" of a song disappear if you know a computer helped create it?

- Where do we draw the line between an AI tool and an AI creator?

- Could a flood of unlabeled AI music drown out human artists?

- Is transparency in music creation a right for every listener?

- How did a "fake" Drake song challenge the entire music industry's rules?

- What happens when you can't tell if your favorite artist actually sang their new song?

- Should streaming platforms be responsible for labeling AI tracks?

- Does knowing a song is AI-generated change how you feel about it?
