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.

Humans will never stop making music. I was watching a fascinating video last night about how Pygmy tribes were making music on a one-note bamboo flute.

And this story screams bullshit. Why in the hell would anyone pay a $3M dollar deal for an AI singer/model? Give me two months to catch up on the tech, $2,000 in new IT gear, spin a local AI, I'll give you a new singer right out my living room.
