The main reason Google are hesitant and have no immediate plans to release MusicLM for public use is copyright issues.

In an internal experiement, they discovered that around 1% of the music generated was a direct replica of a piece of music is was trained on.

Yep pretty much, if you've ever listened to Kevin Parker(tame impala's) music, quite a few of his songs are almost entirely stolen.

Good example is Elephant from the album lonerism.

He just stole most of the song Queens Will Play by Black Mountain

Well, luckily, we also got really good at automatically fingerprinting music, why not just two-stage it?

If the music has higher than a certain uniqueness threshold, bin it and train away from it.

Why can’t they just add a filter in post processing? Is there more to it??

I’m surprised it’s thought to be so good. I listened to most of the examples in the published research, and I found most to be unlistenable as anything but background music. The moment I focussed in it, I wanted to change it.
