Spotify recently pulled tens and thousands of fake AI songs from its platform.
We’ve definitely opened Pandora’s box when it comes to artificial intelligence .
What we’re witnessing in AI is the biggest shift in technology since the internet itself. For the musically inclined, this means we now live in a world where it’s hard to differentiate between a real artist’s voice and an AI-generated one, which is exactly what happened recently to Frank Ocean’s fans.
A scammer, who goes by the handle ‘mourningassasin’ on Discord, posted a collection of AI-generated Frank Ocean songs and put them on sale. That lured Ocean’s fans and the underground community of music collectors like Icarus to the Sun. Mourningassasin was successful in his scam and ended up making $13,000 from selling the fake music.spoke to mourningassasin, who revealed that they had initially posted an original song of the Grammy award-winning artist to rope people in.
“Instantly, I noticed everyone started to believe it,” said mourningassasin, who reportedly charged $3,000 to $4,000 per song. Why people believed mourningassasin might have something to do with the fact that Ocean hasn't released an album since 2016. During a livestream at Coachella last month, the singer teased his fans that there might be a new album coming soon. This possibly made the scammer's job easier to fool people into believing that they had his leaked music.
