    Numerous jazz musicians, including American pianist Jason Moran, and Danish musicians Carsten Dahl, Thomas Blachman, and Chris Minh Doky, face a deluge of AI-generated tracks—often entirely unrelated to their own work—uploaded to their official streaming profiles without consent.

    “There’s not even a piano player on this whole damn record,” Moran, the former artistic director for jazz at the Kennedy Center, remarked on an EP titled For You. The fake album appeared on his Spotify profile and was brought to his attention by another musician friend. “It wasn’t even remotely close to anything I would make.”

    I really don’t buy that services have a hard time determining what’s real and what’s not as the article mentions the quickest, most effective way these artists were able to get issues resolved was thru public shaming on social media.

    It doesn’t seem they are really putting full effort into stopping it, so I have to ask the obvious question of how much are they making off this? Don’t they push all this AI, everything connected, we know you better than you know yourself… but can’t figure out using these same techniques and tools how to moderate their content at a more acceptable level.

    It’s so obvious we are grossly ill-equipped across the board to handle the proliferation of fake, inauthentic, and stolen material. What makes it worse is it seems to be structured that way on purpose. The great mystery of “why would pissing off and replacing your actual real contributors be a good short or long term strategy?”
