Oh man, this aged wildly. This is just the beginning of the AI in music stuff.

I’m sure you’ve heard about the AI band that went viral, The Velvet Sundown.

I haven’t listened to their music, but somebody made serious bank getting AI music onto Spotify playlists.

Most people are outraged by this. I’ve noticed about myself that my “outrage tolerance” is pretty high for a lot of things. Especially having to do with AI. So I guess I just find it funny.

The app they used is called Suno.

This whole thing feeds oddly like a marketing campaign for Suno.
