The emergence of The Velvet Sundown, an AI-generated band on Spotify, has sparked discussions about the definition of art. With no human members and two albums released in short succession, its rapid rise to over half a million listeners has some questioning authenticity. Despite initial skepticism, their Instagram debut confirmed their artificial nature. The music features a classic rock sound yet lacks the depth typically found in human artistry, showcasing the ongoing debate about AI's role in creative fields.
When The Velvet Sundown set up an Instagram account on June 27, all doubts were laid to rest—these 'people' are obviously AI.
Spotify users began noticing The Velvet Sundown's apparent use of AI; the profile had around 300,000 listeners. It's now over 500,000 in less than a week.
