Sometimes a song just comes out of nowhere and does great! But also, there’s well worn paths to buying your way to a small amount of public attention. And these ways have been common as long as the…

    I was just thinking about how I’ve seen a lot of people complain about AI artists flooding Spotify, while I don’t think I’ve hit any through Youtube Music Revanced.

    Anyone have any examples so I know what to look out for, or are they pretty obvious because they’re all shit?

      Mostly they just use Suno, and Suno seems to be a big rigged demo that has training per genre, so you get similar tunes and similar lyrics all the time.

          you’ll get 10,000 records tagged “Romanian shoegaze” and it’ll all sound like the y2k emo indie that Xfm rejected

            It’s like this artifact was made in a lab to provoke you specifically

            Edit: what should folks call an artifact with no art in it?

      YT music may be better but YT itself is absolutely stuffed with AI music. I got tricked by one and listened for like half an hour.

        YT Music’s “content”, as far as I know, is just Youtube videos that have been marked/tagged/autocategorized as “music”. So I definitely expected it to be worse than Spotify’s ostensibly curated library (you can’t just make an account and start uploading there, right?).

          I think so yeah. But the ones I’ve come across are like 90 minute videos of AI generated “music” tracks.

      All I ask is that if we must have a.i., can it at least be labelled and able to be filtered out so those of us that don’t want it don’t get it.

    So they spend $3k to get on the chart. Presumably, the business model of the scam (even scams need a business model) is to get noticed by clueless music journalists, and the articles then drive actual traffic to the scammer. They need >3k downloads of $1 each to make a profit.

    Are there a before and after results breakdown that show if they’re actually making a profit or not? If not, the problem should take care of itself. If they are, well, someone finally found a business model where AI is profitable.

      I think this was a proof of concept, so you don’t need to have a profitable business model just yet.

      I expect the next version will create a complete individual with video of them “playing at bars” or “small concerts”.

      The goal will be to not be AI, but a real person.

      Heck they may even sell it as a service. If you pay me $10,000 you can be a country music star.

      Rebecca Black’s parents paid $4,000 to make a music video. I don’t think they intended it to become this popular thing, but it did.

      Would you (or could you imagine someone might) pay a little more to be a guaranteed success?

        For all that, Black has put in the work and become a solid musician. Hell, she was at Bonaroo this year.
