Wow! This was very informative, Colin! I was wondering if you could possibly put a girl on? Thank you!

If users Listen and Enjoys then what 😂 Ai is Inevitable

man I really liked Swamp District lol sucks they didn’t even exist ha

highway outlaws made good covers and I want them back!

whinning? or are you right? Horses x cars again? Is that so...

I've read an article about it, saying that there is a Swedish composer behind more than 450 fake artist and that there was a secret contract that gave these artist a much higher probability of a editorials placement in exchange to a lower payment percentage. Meaning Spotify saves a lot of money to keep there investors because they never made any profit until now 😅 The problem are the major labels who take huge license fees for they're music so that Spotify is unable to make profit. This business is broken and completely controlled by the big three labels...

I heard of JetFuel & Ginger Ales but never together

So what’s your point?

How do you think Tay tay could produce a truck load of new materiel in the middle of a world tour.. The artists themselves are using AI.

Anyone can make a cover with AI. What is special about it. YOu just dont like people making covers with AI.

stop ai art and generative ai. idk how, but theres gotta be a point where it loses popularity or people realize what it means to make art.

youtube as well

foreign countries dont pay American royalties so this corporation in Sweden pays more of a #payola than any intellectual property rights 0:04:32

Awesome sheet and info Ty!!!

Whenever something gets massively commercialized, it's a surefire way to suck any soul, authenticity and grassroots development out of it. Which is why I never committed to Spotify. I also like to actually own my music. Have it as data I can copy and listen to whenever I want. And not have it go away when my internet goes out or when Spotify decides to change their ToS or close an account. Ownership is very important.

modern generation AI is a plague on humanity. Sure it can help and support people in their work but in a world driven by money and greed it will do more damage than good

I HATE AI

this is why I use SoundCloud

..sigh... WHY would you not use your mic-stand..? This is such a cheesy trend... come on. 🙏 _pleeeezzzz_

The link is not enabled. Activate it!

It costs money to do this so at least there is a cap on how many of these fakers can be here

Had this idea right when spotify came out 😂 easy money

Awesome first video! Thanks for the information. I hope you can figure out what's going on and share it with us.

i've been suspecting this aswell for some time now. I'm a music collector and like to browse places like spotify to find smaller artists but for some time now spotify has been pushing artists like these with fake or copied songs and it makes the process really frustrating.

You are well aware that these type of fake bands existed way before GenAI? This is nothing new.

500th sub !!!

I'm reminded of "Mona Lisa" from Phantom Crash.

Man this would be a great video, but the delivery is super boring

AI artists increase profit for Spotify. Spotify have someone make the songs, and the promote the hell out of them. Then, Spotify pays itself the money from these bands clicks.

Make your playlists and listen to them, stay away

Great video! I'm surprised its your first, you're a natural!

You look AI generated..... It's not an insult, you really do. It's uncanny.... 😮😮😮 Good video tho

Screw this, the issue I'm having right now is the WORST. My account is being used to bot streams. All the songs in my top 30 of all-time I have never heard before, my "on repeat" is filled with songs I've never heard before, and I'll log on and Spotify says the last played song is one I've again, never heard before. I've logged out of everything. Changed password to everything. Reset everything as much as possible. And it sucks.

is the joke that this video is AI generated? i’m so confused

awe some video i like yuo.. thats rare for a man with a Moustache and haircut Like you... but i like you.. youre a good oen....

Fire first youtube video bdo keep goign. ❤❤❤

Seems like AI fearmongering slop.

Personally I don't care that the songs are AI. Vocaloids like Hatsune Miku have been around for ages, and if people want to listen to AI music they have a right to. It's not any different from manufactured pop stars. Pretty much all of Lady Gaga's "story" is fake, for example. She was never financially struggling, unique/weird, or bullied, she went to the same school as Paris Hilton and was popular, if you look at her early appearances and performances pre-Interscope, she looks normal and her music sounds normal. Her first performance in anything remotely like what she would become famous for was Poker Face, after Interscope had already signed her. I don't dislike her music, but her story is clearly a lie. Then you have singers using auto tune like Britney Spears, her real singing voice is nothing like the stuff you hear on her records and tbh it's not that great when you hear her live, she's more of a dancer and she doesn't write most of her songs. So what's the difference between them and AI artists? People listen to mainstream music slop willingly despite knowing it's autotuned, their stories are fake, and stealing songs is something that simply happens like Jojo Siwa was caught doing recently with "Karma." This just seems like you're hostile to AI specifically rather than having inherent issues with theft or people being disingenuous.

welcome, great video

This has to be the worst time in human history to be an artist.

In doing just a quick search from the info on the spreadsheet, it *definitely* seems like there's some big connected bot network behind it all. So many of these artists are featured on the same or very similarly styled "GREATEST HITS OF ___ GENRE" playlists, and their supposed monthly streams come from pretty much the same top cities like Jakarta, Santiago, and Quezon City (various cities in Australia as well). Even weirder is that they seems to have the same "Fans also like" suggested artists. The one "Ana Shine" seems to be a real person- plenty of Instagram and TikTok content of herself, but her stuff gets nearly no engagement despite having a large number of followers. And her music? Yikes. It's almost like she's a real person but the instrumentals and production seem quite AI like to me? I don't know. But it's strange to me that a real person who clearly had bot followers and plays is somehow suggested with all of these AI bands, and that most if not all end up on the same playlists and stream from the same cities. There's gotta be something that ties that all together haha

i keep seeing like band or dj ' collabs' it made me wonder if it was AI.. like why all these artists mixed together at once. idk maybe they was ... but it just seemed sus and something seemed off about it. lol more autotuned than normal if that makes sense like someone has just remixed 3 songs together haha

There’s that one Ai dude w only dog covers. Obnoxioussssss

Soon "human music" will be a niche Genre in a World where all Art is com-generated. Just like in Orwell's book

great video!

2:11 ...thats not even how you spell Duluth.

I noticed this several months ago. I listen pretty exclusively to black metal and all of a sudden spotify recommended 10 or so bands which sounded very legit but whos album covers were generic pop album covers which was very out of place. Had they actually gone through the effort to harvest album covers I'd've been fooled

generative AI is such a stain on humanity. WHY do we need a plagiarism slop machine? All of it needs to be shut down. AI should be used to save lives, not ruin them

As a metalhead who often clicks on songs I find while browsing TH-cam, I've noticed a huge uptick in what I'm pretty sure are AI generated songs and artists, some of them disclose that they are but some...do not
