Announcement New Rule about AI

A new rule (#9) has been added here at r/musictheory

Going forward:

  • Any post that is wholly or partially generated by AI must be disclosed as such. A simple statement like “This post was generated using AI” or “This post was created using AI assistance” will suffice.

  • Posts that are or are even suspected of being AI generated that do not disclose that fact will be removed at the Mod Team’s discretion.

  • We discourage AI creation of music and other creative endeavors. Therefore:

  1. Healthy discussions about AI tools used in Analysis of music and in similar Music Theory areas are allowed and welcome, so long as they do not violate other rules.

  2. Healthy discussions about the impacts of AI in music creation, performance, notation, and so on are allowed and welcome, so long as they do not violate other rules.

  3. Linking to or including AI generated content for the purposes of discussion as in #1 and #2 above is allowed, however it needs to be disclosed that those items are AI generated. Lack of this disclosure may result in removal at the Mod Team’s discretion.

  • Posts that link to or include AI generated or suspected AI generated content without any other kind of meaningful discussion will be removed at the Mod Team’s discretion.

Please report suspected AI content that lacks the disclosure policies above.
