CrisisKaraoke believes in full transparency about the use of artificial intelligence in music creation. This page details exactly which elements of our music are AI-generated, which are human-created, and our philosophy on AI in art.
🤖 Clear Statement:
CrisisKaraoke music is created using AI-powered tools for vocals, instrumentation, and production. Human creativity drives the concepts, lyrics, arrangements, and curation.

Every CrisisKaraoke song starts with a human-identified everyday frustration or micro-crisis. We craft the narrative, emotional arc, and thematic message.
Lyrics emerge from an iterative collaboration between AI generation and human curation. We provide thematic concepts and crisis scenarios to AI, which generates multiple lyrical variations. Humans then select the best lines, edit for specificity and absurdist humor, refine phrasing, and ensure the core message and voice remain authentic. The final lyrics blend AI's creative suggestions with human judgment and emotional intent.
We use AI music generation tools (such as Suno AI, Udio, or similar platforms) to create:
Typically, we generate 10-20 variations and human-curate the best results.
Humans select the best AI generations, then edit and refine:
Final mastering may use AI-assisted tools, but all decisions are human-approved. We ensure each track meets our quality and artistic standards.
AI enables rapid experimentation with musical styles, vocal performances, and arrangements that would be cost-prohibitive or time-intensive with traditional production.
CrisisKaraoke's concept—documenting everyday frustrations in real-time—benefits from fast production. AI tools allow us to capture moments while they're fresh and relatable.
AI democratizes music production. We don't need a full band, recording studio, or major label backing to create and share music.
AI generates unexpected sounds, phrasings, and arrangements that inspire human creativity. It's a collaborative tool, not a replacement for artistic vision.
While AI is powerful, it cannot:
We view AI as a tool—like synthesizers in the 1980s or digital audio workstations in the 2000s. Technology changes how music is made, but the human element remains essential.
We believe listeners deserve to know how music is created. CrisisKaraoke openly acknowledges AI usage rather than hiding it.
We curate AI outputs carefully. Not every AI generation makes the cut—only tracks that meet our artistic standards are released.
As AI technology evolves, our processes may change. We'll update this advisory to reflect our current methods.
CrisisKaraoke retains copyright over our released music, including AI-generated elements. This is consistent with existing copyright law regarding computer-assisted creation. Human creative input (concepts, lyrics, curation, editing) establishes copyrightability.
See our Terms of Service for usage rights and remix guidelines.
The AI models we use were trained on large datasets of existing music. We acknowledge:
We recognize concerns about AI's impact on human musicians. CrisisKaraoke is:
Who knows? If CrisisKaraoke grows enough, it would be incredible to one day bring these songs to life on stage with a kick-ass group of real meatsack musicians. That's the dream.
CrisisKaraoke is authentically absurd—AI helps execute a human vision of turning everyday frustrations into cathartic music. The emotions and experiences are real; the production method is AI-assisted.
As CrisisKaraoke grows, we may:
Any significant changes to our AI usage will be reflected in updates to this advisory.
We welcome questions, concerns, or feedback about our AI usage:
TL;DR: CrisisKaraoke uses AI for lyrics, vocals, instruments, and production. Humans create concepts, lyrics, arrangements, and make all artistic decisions. We believe in transparency—AI is a tool, not a replacement for human creativity. Questions? We're happy to discuss!
