We’d like to know your feelings on music produced by AI. The tide, it seems, is unstoppable. In July, the band the Velvet Sundown went viral, amassing more than 1m Spotify streams very quickly – only to be revealed as an entirely AI confection. One week in November, three AI songs rode high in Spotify’s global viral charts, two from a fake country act, one, more worryingly, an anti-immigration song from Holland.
This week, the record label of British pop star Jorja Smith hit out against an artist named Haven who, they claim, used AI to impersonate the singer on a viral track that rode high in Spotify’s global charts before being removed for alleged copyright infringement; only to be re-recorded with a human vocal, a version that debuted at No 37 on the UK Top 40.
