Spotify Under Fire After AI Copy Replaces Real Band

Spotify is facing backlash following the discovery of an AI impersonator of a popular rock band on the platform.

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard’s frontman, Stu Mackenzie, spoke out Monday after fans flagged that an AI “artist” was impersonating the band, just a few months after they pulled their catalog from the platform in protest of CEO Daniel Ek’s massive investments in AI military tech.

Mackenzie said in a statement to The Music that he was “trying to see the irony in this situation” surrounding the impersonator. “But seriously wtf we are truly doomed,” he added.
