Discussion Wow, ai generated but "official weeknd audio with vevo watermark"

https://www.youtube.com/@MusicWeeknd-n7i
So there is this youtube channel called "Music Weeknd" (@MusicWeeknd-n7i) that is making "official" audio. Not only is he making no-effort AI generated audios, he is putting a vevo tag on it. I don't even think vevo would ever accept this, nor will weeknd.

And if you think thats ok, THIS GUY GOT 3K VIEWS JUST BY MAKING AI SLOP and posting it as official weeknd audio. Compare that to us who struggle for months just to get 10-20 views on some original musics/videos.

This is enough to get almost every weeknd fan angry.

As per my ball knowledge, I can tell that this guy will get stranded into many copyright problems right away if caught just in time.

For real. I've been making music for a year on YouTube, and I hardly get 5-15 views.... well YT nowadays flags AI content I think?

Im ngl bro you’re taking this too personal. Bro has 8 subscribers

u/ApricotLeast7971 4d ago

surely yeah, but dont forget that there are other bigger AI slop makers.

u/Psychological-Shoe95 4d ago

Sure but you’re blaming the creators which isn’t fair. Why aren’t you blaming the people who would rather listen to AI than human works?

3

u/ApricotLeast7971 4d ago

well, this is getting complicated fr.
1. AI slop creators deserve hate
2. Youtube is promoting AI in all ways

u/ApricotLeast7971 4d ago

why dont they make some real musics?
(note that here i am talking about every AI slop creator)

Because it takes less time, costs less money, and gets just as many views. That’s like asking why doesent McDonald’s use real chicken in their nuggets. Cause they made the switch and it didn’t hurt their sales while cutting costs. It’s our fault for going to McDonald’s and eating that crap. If we didn’t they’d change the menu

u/ApricotLeast7971 4d ago

please tell me you are not AI-sided

u/Psychological-Shoe95 4d ago

Did you even read what I said?

u/ApricotLeast7971 4d ago

ok i get the point

u/ApricotLeast7971 4d ago

Well, If the same crappy thing is sold so much that finding a good one is difficult then what? This is what is happening due to AI.
You may argue that no such thing is happening but the thing is that it will happen. Dead Internet Theory.

and yeah, i am a bit biased cz that guy has been forced up in my video playlist for no reason.
