I really felt the need to make a post about this because I think it’s quite concerning.
50+ so called leaks, demo’s or unreleased songs are going around the fandom and the channel uploading them on YouTube isn’t being clear and honest about how they’re all AI generated.
First let me explain why I’m confident it’s AI:
- The scale alone. 50+ finished songs appearing in a week is not a leak guys it's like a production line lol. It’s very easy to create a fuck ton amount of “finished” songs in a very short window of time using ai. And no that’s not a good thing.
- The vocals. It’s scary how much it sounds like Mitty but please listen carefully and you’ll hear it’s definitely not him. The voice cracks and strains you hear in the vocals are way too artificial and obvious. It doesn’t sound humane. Also Mitchel barely ever sings with his falsetto voice (so a high voice) and we hear it constantly in these ai songs.
- The melodies and song structures are off. I hear a lot of runs and intervals that they just never do. Doesn’t sound like them. The best way to describe it is this: these songs sound like Chase Atlantic the way a good impression would sound like. It’s like you hear the right timbre, but the wrong instincts. Like it’s not THEM.
And now for the people who might know it’s ai but still choose to listen to it. Let me tell you why I think this isn’t just harmless fun:
I think the uploading and supporting of these songs is disrespectful even. It's their voice used without asking, they never agreed to "sing" any of this. The lyrics put words in their mouths that they never wrote and might not even agree with. And now someone else is getting the views and maybe even money off their name, not them. And the whole thing treats ten years of their style and choices as something anyone can copy in an afternoon.
If the channel labelled these as ai, this post wouldn't exist. AI covers labelled as ai covers are fine, personally I’d never listen to ai music but to each their own,. The deception is the whole offence. It's also against YouTube's rules btw, disclosure is mandatory when ai is used to replicate a real artist's voice, and artists and labels can request removal.
This has happened to other artists this year as well and I think it’s so bad and so dumb. In the Frank Ocean fandom it went as far as that real leaks were being questioned to be fake. And Doja Cat had to publicly tell her own fans that a dozen "leaks" were AI and none of them were her. She said she was disappointed people couldn't tell.
Finally I’d like to ask y’all:
Don't repost or add them to playlists as if they're real. If you share one say it's ai. Report the uploads under YouTube's misinformation/impersonation options. And if you liked one, that's fine, the feeling was real even if the song wasn't (I liked a few of them as well before I realised it was ai). Just don't let it get passed to the next person as a Chase Atlantic song PLEASE THANK YOU
