"Today, a poster on Reddit was recommended what appeared to be an AI-generated copy of one of the band's songs in Spotify's Release Radar playlist. The phony artist was called King Lizard Wizard and it had an album of tracks all sharing titles with songs by the original band and using their original lyrics. grabbed screenshots of the imposter, although it appears to have since been taken down; only the band's original page appears in searches for both their name and the AI name."
"In September, Spotify unveiled a spam filter for catching AI slop, as well as policies for disclosing AI use in the content it hosts and how it would tackle AI impersonations. An instance like this, particularly when it features an artist that had left the platform in protest, creates a pretty big question mark about how well those policies are working."
Spotify failed to catch an AI-generated imitation of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard that appeared in users' Release Radar playlists. The impostor account, named King Lizard Wizard, hosted an album with tracks sharing the original titles and using the band's original lyrics. The fake album remained online for weeks before a Reddit post prompted screenshots and apparent removal; searches now return only the band's original page. King Gizzard removed its catalog from Spotify over CEO Daniel Ek's investment ties to an AI-focused weapons company. Spotify announced a spam filter and AI-disclosure and impersonation policies in September, raising questions about their effectiveness.
