Two Lanes: Organic vs. AI
In this year’s Music World Cup, there are two separate lanes. These two lanes will run separately throughout the competition — each with its own set of evaluations and votes — until the finals, where both worlds collide. The ultimate question will be answered: Which is the best?
Organic
Raw, real, human-driven creativity.
- Tracks created entirely by the artist
- No AI assistance — just you and your craft
- Evaluated and voted on separately from AI lane
AI
Exploring the boundaries between human and machine-made music.
- Tracks generated with the assistance of AI tools and technology
- Push the frontier of what music can become
- Evaluated and voted on separately from Organic lane
Prize Purses & Bragging Rights
Each lane will have its own prize purse, ensuring recognition and reward for both organic and AI-driven creators. However, in the end, only one artist will claim the coveted title of Music World Cup Champion.
The true winner will receive bragging rights for life, representing the best of both worlds — human creativity vs. artificial intelligence. Who will come out on top? Only the fans and voters will decide.
