Music Appreciation. The odds are every single artist whose music has been posted here had their music stolen by AI companies.

Those behind the intellectual property theft to train the AI deserve the longest prison sentences the law permits, and their companies should be sued out of existence.

And the no-talent wannabes using AI to pretend they can create music, visual art and creative writing are frauds who should be labeled as such and deserve no respect and attention.

YouTube is drowning in AI slop.

for all the videos on their channel are very, very similar to other YouTube channels that do admit to being AI.

by calling this AI slop "authentic blues" in the video description.

The AI user should be reported to YouTube for not labeling synthetic content.

That non-artist non-label calling itself @ Crossroads Records Global (I inserted spaces there) is even using what look like AI prompts for the video description.

Give me chills? No. It makes me feel sick to my stomach to see this kind of AI fakery anywhere, trying to trick people into thinking it's real, while using tools trained on all the copyrighted music the AI company could steal. Those behind the IP theft should go to prison. And the frauds using AI to pretend it's something real deserve some sort of punishment as well.

Please delete that slop. I'd recommend the same for the thread you posted in Musicians.

the question so I could know for sure and relay the information to the person who recommended the song to me.

Condemn the AI thieves. Don't condemn me.

all over the internet, and it's unfair to everyone who doesn't want this slop.

I'm condemning the robber-baron AI bros and companies, the AI proponents pushing everyone to use this harmful tech, and AI users who - though not responsible for the initial theft of artists' work - are committing fraud when they don't label AI results, and who are worsening the harm done to creatives whose work was stolen.

It would be so nice not to see more AI harm and fraud every day. All of us know how exhausting it is to hear, day after day, about the harm the Trump regime is doing. The AI peddlers aren't much (if any) better.

Again, I'm sorry. I appreciate your having asked if this was AI.

I've posted elsewhere about various clues that videos are AI generated, mentioning those clues in replies to specific videos that have fooled other DUers. I probably should put together something to pin to the top of the board, especially now that obvious flaws are less common.
