Not touching Spotify with a 100 foot pole. Also, I’m pretty sure this is some form of desecration of human remains on top of a massive scam (that’s purely my personal moral and ethical stance). It’s one thing to make a remix of an already existing song. It’s another to steal the voice of a dead man and manipulate it for profit, without consent from the artist or his estate. This AI “music” is the functional equivalent of puppeteering a corpse to fill billionaire pockets.

I hope lawsuits are coming, I hope everyone with money bands together and makes so much noise about it that the laws WILL be passed to protect people from this bs
