From Ted Gioia:
"The latest shenanigans at Spotify are happening on country music playlists, where hit songs are featured—but they are mysterious cover versions that seem to be AI-created."
So, while they post their own AI-created songs to siphon off plays, they accuse smaller creators of cheating if a playlist Spotify deems illegit picks up a song, and deletes them.
Delete Spotify!
@t_heislen Yeah, it's weird. Giant evil corporations that don't make anything and just profit off other people's work will cheat and abuse creators and their customers.
Maybe we should stop allowing them to exist.
