A new trend of #AI slop is completely deepfake #music bands.
Like for instance "Shunned at a Funeral". All is fake. Fake band members talking on Youtube, fake Youtube live concert videos, fake website and bio, fake songs. All AI generated.
In this video a real #musician reviews how fake it all is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKOtpdDzwyA
So I found the fake #band on #Spotify and thoought this is a good one to report as Deceptive. So I did.
The Spotify reporting functionality does not allow to give a comment. I could only say that the band's bio is misleading, now why. Meanwhile Spotify threatens you: A false report and your account may be terminated.
After 5 seconds I received reply from Spotify: My complaint not honored. But I could appeal. So I did, and gave a good description of the deception.
Half hour later: Your complaint has been rejected. Spotify is perfectly happy to have fake AI slop music pollute their platform.

@smallcircles@social.coop not just that, spotify was caught MAKING ITS OWN slop ai 'music' so it can fill all the playlists and just keep the money - or pay itself the money - it would otherwise theoretically have to pay human musicians. just another of the infinite number of reasons why spotify must be destroyed.

@smallcircles@social.coop After years of listening to heavily manufactured pop bands — whether Korean, Japanese or otherwise — with autotune everywhere, and after decades of dancing to techno made almost entirely with synthesizers and machines, isn’t it at least a little curious to suddenly draw the line at AI-generated music?
