AI in music progresses, to the point of blackmailing the dead. In a 404 media survey, we discovered that the Spotify transmission platform leaves false songs generated by the pages of artists who have died for several decades.
This is the case of Blaze Foley, a country music singer, who died killed in 1989. On his spotify page, he has just been released and baptized Together. However, this music has never been recorded by Blaze Foley, and the voice you can hear is not yours.
An artist verified usurpation victim
Information confirmed by Craig McDonald, owner of the seal that distributes the music of the deceased artist: “I can clearly tell him that this song is not fire and that it is not in his style,” he launched. However, it specifies that the time was not yet taken to contact Spotify to rectify the shot.
Spotify explains that he has reported the problem in Soundon, who is responsible for facilitating the distribution of music on transmission platforms, and this song was eliminated by “violation of our policy on deceptive content.”
The fact is that the ease with which a false song was able to reach the page of an artist, who however has the “verified” notch, asks a question: “It is a bit surprising that Spotify does not have a blockade to avoid this type of action, and I think that responsibility is completely in Spotify”, he believes that Craig McDonald.
Other artists stolen by AI on Spotify
Especially because the anonymous author of the incriminated song is not his first attempt. As 404 average, their “configure” method on a deceased artist page is not new. The “syntax error” of the copyright seen in Together Therefore, it is attached to an apocryphal song published on the page of another country singer, Guy Clark, disappeared in 2016. But, living artists are not saved. The syntax error also published on the page of a living author, updated with a new song and an image of a man, the two generated by an AI.
Unlike Deezer, Spotify does not say no at AI and also seeks to develop this segment in its audiobook catalog; In this case, it is not the text, but the reading that would generate AI. However, the platform is not long ago to prevent its users from listening to AI music. Therefore, there is no mention present in the pages of pieces or singers.
On July 4, Spotify had already been pointed out to make a group created from scratch by artificial intelligence, velvet and accumulated more than 858,000 subscribers prosper. The group has not yet been reported as such by the platform.
