An ice dance duo skated to AI music at the Olympics

So the Olympics had AI-generated music that was plagiarized, and nobody noticed until after the performance. That's embarrassing.

Here's the thing: LLMs spit out plagiarism because they're trained on the internet and they don't understand plagiarism. They just remix patterns. For text, detection is getting better. For music, it's still a crapshoot — the plagiarism detection tools are slow and expensive.

The real lesson isn't 'AI music is bad' (though Spotify's whole algorithm game has always been messy). It's that *nobody's actually vetting outputs*. You're skating at the Olympics. Run it through a plagiarism checker. Maybe twice.

This is a workflows problem, not a tech problem.
