I found an awesome 80s style cover of one of the Kpop Demon Hunters songs on YouTube. I still like it — but the channel has dozens of videos including 5-6 of any given song, they make more than one a day, and when people ask them to go on Spotify, they say they won’t — which is interesting because Spotify just banned AI generated music. So I’m 99% sure they’re an AI band. My point is, I can’t help liking the song, so I feel like we’re screwed because that could happen to anyone. (FWIW I’ve downloaded the song so I can play it offline. So they don’t make money from my plays.)

So my question is. How do we know? And what can we do?

    That’s true for some, but for others it’s weirder than that. They have an established history where they post on a variety of topics. Some of them are obvious trolls: they go into groups and say something to rile up the actual members. But some of them aren’t even that. They do non-stupid takes on many topics.

    But come to a group literally called “Fuck AI” to boost AI.

    The only explanations I have for that crowd are:

    1. Religious cult. (Specifically TESCREAL.)
    2. Complete and utter fucking morons.
