TIDAL cracks down on AI music by cutting off monetization

Summary:
Uploading AI music to the platform itself is not prohibited,
but TIDAL announced that it will be marked as "AI" and cannot be monetized.
Below is a translation of TIDAL's official announcement.
We are a music platform that prioritizes artists and listeners above all. To protect artists and provide listeners with accurate information, starting July 15th, TIDAL will handle AI-generated music as follows:
100% AI-generated tracks will display an "AI" badge and will not receive royalties.
Content created to impersonate other artists will be removed.
Listeners will be able to use a filter feature to exclude all 100% AI-generated content.
These standards will be applied equally to TIDAL Uploads.
