6. Photos are real.Music and lyrics are AI, made with tools trained illegally on work stolen from musicians and writers.

12. It was the photos that got to me, not the music, which was nothing special, AI or otherwise.

I am not in support of that, regardless of how I first react to it. I try to avoid it altogether. I saw both this and the other one in quick succession and wasn't thinking about AI. I'll be watching out for it more closely.

Thanks again!

8. Only the photos are real. Music and lyrics are AI, exploiting real artists whose work was stolen to train AI.

which was kind of ridiculous when you consider how many real and very dramatic photos are circulating everywhere.

4. Sigh. This is AI slop again. The video description says it's made with AI. Photos are real, words and music AI.

There is NO EXCUSE for using AI to create protest music. It's unethical, and it's a travesty.

Why are you posting music identified on those YouTube channels as AI-generated without saying in your post here - and it should be in the title - that it's AI-generated?

Linking to your earlier thread with AI slop - and people should see my comments there about why using AI is wrong:

Not telling DUers you're posting AI slop instead of real music isn't fair to them.
