The White House has responded to The Chicks‘ Natalie Maines calling Donald Trump a “fugly slut”.

It's becoming increasingly clear that major labels are dealing with AI-generated music's rise by embracing and monetizing it, letting fans use carefully controlled versions of the technology to create variations on songs the labels control. In the process, they hope, they'll generate more royalties. The latest evidence is a just-announced high-profile new deal between the world's largest record company, Universal Music Group, and Spotify to “launch a new tool allowing fans to create covers and remixes of their favorite songs from participating artists and songwriters.” The strategy, which would essentially turn artists' work into a kind of digital Play-Doh, first…
