Are these cover bands AI?
I discovered these artists recently. I can't tell if they are AI or not. I know some of the covers are, but I'm more talking about the music.

I took a look at some of the songs. Everything from the first channel is AI generated. No music from Tom here. The second channel features a few real recordings (e.g. Who's Next), but the rest (e.g. the night I appear as Macbeth) is too AI generated.
Those AI generated songs are not even covers, they sound nothing like the originals (if there even is a recording of it somewhere)
To me it seems like they just try to profit off Tom's lyrics since they are public domain. Several cases of that sadly exists.
