"Moran described the music as indie pop, saying: 'It wasn't even remotely close to anything I would make.' He set out to get the fake album taken down."
"For the musicians having to deal with the deluge of AI slop, it's frustrating, Moran said. The feeling is also surreal."
"Spotify has acknowledged the problem and the extent of AI slop on its platform, revealing last September that it had removed more than 75m spammy tracks over the previous 12 months."
"Moran likened the situation to a Black Mirror episode, referencing a character negatively affected by a reality-show version of herself."
Jason Moran discovered a fake artist profile on Spotify using his name, featuring an EP he did not create. The music was indie pop, far from his jazz style. This incident reflects a larger issue where AI bots impersonate musicians, affecting various artists, including well-known names like Drake. Moran expressed frustration over the situation, likening it to a surreal episode of Black Mirror. Spotify has acknowledged the problem, having removed over 75 million spam tracks and is working to enhance protections for musicians.
