If someone types a prompt that uses your voice without asking, and then gets paid for it, is that really creation, or just theft with extra steps?
You say the prompt writer gets paid because they wrote the lyrics and just changed the voice. But that voice is the artist's identity, their brand, their livelihood. And that "creator" didn't write the melody, didn't perform it, didn't spend years developing that sound. They typed a few lines and pressed a button. That's not a songwriter, that's someone standing next to a printing press and claiming they wrote the book.
Think about the system-wide effect. Once platforms allow this, any artist's voice becomes fair game. You get a feedback loop where real musicians can't compete with infinite AI clones that never sleep and never need royalties. And then the platform becomes a graveyard of copies, listeners leave, and the prompt writers are left paying each other for nothing. That's not a healthy ecosystem. That's a dying one.
