@cdarwin@c.imLast year, I reported on Blaze Foley,
a country musician who was murdered in 1989, but whose Spotify page was suddenly featuring new, AI-generated music under his name.
I’ve recently reviewed dozens of examples of other dead musicians who are also apparently publishing AI-generated music under their names on Spotify.
In some cases, album covers for dead, Black jazz musicians feature white, AI generated artists instead.
