Hi folks, another shitty story from the slop-pocalypse ((AI-)slopalypse?).

Archive link

Article from billboard, archive

NB: I think this story is bullshit. I imagine some parts are true, but there's no concrete source given for the "$3 million" figure. So it's my speculation that this story is hype cooked up by Suno (the AI company enabling this all) and thrown at publishers for an easy headline. Also the human behind this has their name spelled differently in the two articles, so clearly some quality journalism is happening.

I am pretty sure the "$3m" deal is fake. There are many ways to claim you're doing a deal that absolutely does not involve a penny moving (except to the publicist), from just fuckin' lying to churning to provisions behind so many conditionals they can't happen, but sum them anyway.

anyway yeah thiere is nothing not fake about this story

and in particular no non-fakeable evidence of actual public interest
