Soul singer who makes £2k-per-day from streams is revealed to be an AI

[Teletubby 156,214]

Sienna Rose, an AI account that released 10 albums between September and December of last year, has placed three songs on Spotify’s Viral 50 — USA playlist, with one track seemingly fooling Selena Gomez. The account currently has 2.9 million monthly Spotify listeners.

Soul singer Sienna Rose took the music world by storm with her sultry hits, leaving fans praising her 'beautiful' and 'captivating' voice.

But despite earning comparisons to English hitmaker Olivia Dean, it's now been revealed that Sienna's voice, image and songs are all fake.

Despite this, Spotify have continued to let listeners stream Sienna's music, without any disclaimer or warning that she isn't real, with it now being claimed that she is the creation of the same figure who created a similarly successful AI reggae act.

Regardless, Sienna's voice has proven to be fruitful, as her streams are equating to around £2,000 a day.

Sienna released a six-track EP in September, titled Velvet Embrace, followed by an eight-track project the following month, and a nine-track EP called The Shape of Tenderness, in November.

Sienna Rose has been created by the same person who made an AI reggae act called Let Babylon Burn, which has 756,000 monthly listeners. It's thought the man in question is Robert Lancaster, though little is know about who he is. source

Does she even have 10 albums in total

People are doing legit ANYTHING to make money nowadays, to me this is false advertisement and plagiarism because AI takes from pre-existing information. So somewhere there is a singer whose voice this is and they’re making money off them. Same for the women in the images.

This is where AI becomes a massive problem i think, because the money deserves to go to the person who’s voice is being used, but also the person who’s likeness the artwork is based off of, BUT to what degree does the person who posted it get? Did they produce or edit it at all? Who knows.

i mean we even have TIMBERLAND doing ads for software that allows you to add an AI voice to a track which is scary af.

We need to stop AI for public use entirely.

lowkey ava max coded

This is so insidious. Not only does this person fully not exist, but some schmuck on the other end is making bank off of literally nothing - just an ephemeral cloud of data that is consumed by users who they themselves have their data mined and sold. All intangible, and it should be worthless.

On top of that, the fact that there are so many talented singers and artists out there who are not given the chance to make a living off their art are at a further disadvantage because some tech bro created an AI money printing machine.

 

Never mind the ugly implications of using dressing the AI in the image of a person of color, who already face systemic barriers to economic, social, and cultural capital, and exploiting not just the image, but the identity of such persons who deserve to have their art shared on larger platforms, is grotesque and should be enough of a reason for us to, if not full abandon AI, then severely restrict its use and influence in the world.

What am I doing with my life

I should be coming up with random stuff like this with AI to get some coins online istg
 

[SevenWonder 4,544]

F AI. I hate it so much. Those streams could have been used on an actual human who actually sat down, wrote actual songs and actually sang them herself. 

We really have to band together and kill this sh**. Yes, I will die on this hill because I see the end to art/music/film in the very near future if we don't.

Ngl that first song in the tweet sounds amazing  but it being AI makes me very uncomfortable, will never listen again

I don't think there is one specific human who's voice is being used unless the guy made an ai model based on someone like how fans are making them of Gaga for example. But if it's a general one then it could be the amalgamation of tens of thousands of voices and it creates a result based on what it's learned.

And Timbaland has already "signed" an AI "artist" who had a single so he's fully into this stuff

the most boring song
