Al Singer Xania Monet Just Charted On Billboard, Signed $3M Deal. Is This The Future Of Music?

Will the next breakout voice in music come from an algorithm? Xania Monet — an AI-powered R&B singer has cracked billboard, and was created by 31-year-old Talisha Jones.

Hi folks, another shitty story from the slop-pocalypse ((AI-)slopalypse?).

NB: I think this story is bullshit. I imagine some parts are true, but there’s no concrete source given for the “$3 million” figure. So it’s my speculation that this story is hype cooked up by Suno (the AI company enabling this all) and thrown at publishers for an easy headline. Also the human behind this has their name spelled differently in the two articles, so clearly some quality journalism is happening.

    The Forbes “contributor” hive strikes again.

    To quote the most pedantic nerds on Earth (complimentary),

    Most content on Forbes.com is written by contributors or “Senior Contributors” with minimal editorial oversight, and is generally unreliable. Editors show consensus for treating Forbes.com contributor articles as self-published sources, unless the article was written by a subject-matter expert. Forbes.com contributor articles should never be used for third-party claims about living persons.
