The Velvet Sundown, an indie rock band, claims they do not use AI despite utilizing AI-generated images of band members. After allegations emerged regarding their authenticity, the band's official social media account pushed back against journalists, accusing them of spreading unfounded theories. The band has over 550,000 monthly Spotify listeners, sparking debates about AI's role in music. Users expressed frustration over the lack of clarity regarding the band's authenticity, with some calling for action against what they perceive as a fabricated entity. Deezer has flagged their latest album as potentially containing AI-generated tracks.
"Absolutely crazy that so-called 'journalists' keep pushing the lazy, baseless theory that The Velvet Sundown is 'AI-generated' with zero evidence..."
"As a music maker, it breaks my heart. As a music lover and Spotify user, I find it offensive that there is no mention anywhere that it is a fabricated band."
"Report this shit man... What else can we do?"
"Spotify competitor Deezer flagged the band's most recent album, 'Dust and Silence,' as being 'AI-generated content,' noting that some tracks on this album may have been created using artificial intelligence."
