You probably know two things about Aussie psyche rockers, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. One: they’re probably the most prolific band on the planet, regularly releasing three or four new albums a year. And two: they’re among the most prominent Spotify refuseniks, having removed their music from the platform in July in protest at Daniel Ek’s investment in military tech company Helsing.
Now, in a development you could have predicted, they’ve been targeted by AI grifters. Earlier this month, a new artist appeared on Spotify called King Lizard Wizard, which seemed to specialise in psych rock and sported similar song titles and artwork to the Aussie band.
