Sorry of, it becomes apparent quickly that Spotify didn’t do it intentionally, or get “caught” and so the title of the piece is deceptive

What I was intrigued by is the discovery of the company who copyrighted the work and that they had other instances of dead (or alive) artists with more presumed AI use

That in combo with the lack of oversight regarding what Spotify allows to be uploaded and by who (even though this has been known/talked about before) is interesting enough for the article imo

I will say I'm not much a fan of reading "news" in the first person form tho but I guess this is kinda a blog site
