Sing, baby, sing! Psyche

Based on this article by Ian Youngs and Paul Glynn at BBC.

Musicians are making the surreal discovery that entire AI-generated albums, convincingly mimicking their style, are being released under their names on platforms like Spotify without their knowledge. This isn't random but a calculated scheme by fraudsters targeting independent and mid-level artists, exploiting their names for royalties while banking on them lacking the superstar power to get the content removed quickly.

For the real artists, this digital identity theft is a violation that pollutes their life's work with soulless "AI slop" and forces them into a frustrating battle to reclaim their own catalogues. The incidents present a challenge for digital music distributors and raise concerns about artist impersonation and content authenticity.
