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?

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.
