AI Songs

ByFaris

Yeah another post about AI.

I got a free trial of Youtube Music and was enjoying myself listening to some French songs that I don’t understand, when I thought “Hey, this song is good – who is the singer?”. I then went to the ‘artist’ page and there’s no description about the singer, only a name that is a bit hard to pronounce. That’s not unusual on YouTube and Youtube Music since there are a lot of people covering other artists’ songs, so I thought this was just another up and coming internet sensation. I also didn’t know what the song was about since the title is in French but the words seem to be familiar in the sense they’ve appeared a few times in other songs that I have been listening too. When I looked at the artist’s profile, I saw that she was good looking too. Hm, great looks, beautiful voice, and catchy song, what a great combina- wait a minute….

The picture has this hazy kind of look and after staring at it for 2 seconds I realised that it was an AI image. And when I looked at the channel, I can see the songs are all very similar, with images so similar that they look like postcards at a tourist shop. It’s confirmed then that the ‘singer’ is actually AI. I even asked Claude to confirm and it highly agrees.

Then I felt sick a bit, not because the songs were bad but it was the fact that I didn’t notice it at the start and even thought it was a talented ‘singer’. It is not the same like when you chat to ChatGPT or Gemini, where you know it is a software, but more like when you have read all the posts on my blog and discovered I am not a human.

But am I?
