These AI exposes popped up in my feed this week. The blatantly cynical fakery is actually pretty funny. I also like the Goonies shirt.
Apparently gullible music lovers trend Christian.
The existence of AI music doesn’t bother me. To my ears, much of the generic, auto-tuned, committee-written pop music of the past 20 years sounds like AI anyway, so why not? Music is strictly utilitarian for many people, something to have in the background while working. Or to soothe them after work. Or to fill the air at some god awful party. If AI works for them, that’s their business.
Of course there’s an ethical issue with the fake charity, but I can’t get very worked up over that either. That kind of crime requires enablers. Caveat emptor.
I enjoy his detailed explanations of the weirdness. The uncanny guitars are a nice touch.
The creators had to walk it back when the fake charity got exposed.
Life imitates Seinfeld.
