story going viral this morning that has a lot of
people very upset, especially because it involves AI messing with
America's most precious natural resource, our celebrities. An that's what
(00:20):
we value the most in this country. And could you
imagine being fooled by an AI celebrity that you didn't
know was artificial. It's actually happening right now, big time.
And it's happening in music because there's a completely fake
AI generated musician that has landed eleven spots on the
iTunes Top one hundred singles charts eleven spots.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Do you think people don't realize that it's AI?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Oh for sure?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah, wows it gained so many spots.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I thought like, it's all off streams and like how
many times you play it? So people go online they
find this music, they're like, oh, I like this, guys
don't then.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
They go down there. Yeah, I have no idea that
it's not even a person.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
The AI generated musician is named Eddie Dalton and it
was created by a guy named Dallas Little who's a
South Carolina music producer who runs a label called Crunchy Records,
and that congratulations.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
To that guy.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
He's got eleven spots on the iTunes Top one hundred
singles charts.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Crunchy Records is killing it Eddie Dalton.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Here are the songs that have made it onto the
top one hundred singles charts from this AI generated Eddie Dalton.
Of you're a fan of his, I'm sure people have
been like, man, this new guy is dope. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I mean, you've got me wanting to google it and
I at the same time, I don't want to Google
it because I don't want to feed into it.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
This is the original song that originally got Eddie Dalton
the new AI musician who's taking over the charts with
eleven spots on the iTunes Top one hundred. It's called
Another Day Old.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Bib. Yeah, yeah, no, they're really good.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
I actually.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Heard this a while ago because a friend of mine
sent it to me from YouTube and he knew it
was AI though.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
He was like, this is dope. You should listen to
this AI track.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
But also I've known people that have been listening to
it and I'm like, oh, is that that AI artist?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
And they're like no.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They look it up and they're like wait a second, AI,
and they're not happy about it when they find out
the text en four one o six one calls up
eight eight eight three four three one o six one.
Does it make you angry that an AI artist has
taken over the charts with eleven spots on the iTunes
top one hundred. Here's another song of Eddie Dalton's The
(02:39):
Fake AI Agent called Somewhere All Along all the Time.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Gosh that tone though good, right, so good that it's
not bad, not at all.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I want to hate it.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
Yeah right, it's like very fivey it is.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
It's really good.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
It's soothing my soul and it doesn't even have one exactly.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
But how different okay, Devil's Advocate, How different is this?
Nina Ben then Britney spears is like auto tune that's
completely not her voice, you know what I mean? Like,
while there's still a person there, there's it's utilizing complete
like you know, nothing real to make it sound like
her in those moments.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
For me, I don't mind that as much as I'm
worried about, like listening to lyrics that connect to me
on a personal level, that are coming from nowhere.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
Yeah, the producer created the song, didn't he Like, did
he at least like write the music.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I mean, I don't know if it was all done
with AI because there's apps that you can use. Yeah,
producer Free showed me this app that you can use
that'll literally just write a song for you, produce it
and everything in like two seconds.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I was trying to make songs jokingly. I was showing
him this app. I forgot what the name of it was,
but it was months ago, and I was showing him
like content benchmarks for the show, like content that we do,
and it was writing in higher songs about the content.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
How do you own that?
Speaker 7 (04:04):
How do you own that? Just because you pay ninety
nine cents a month for an app? Now you all
of a sudden own the song that the AI thing
pumped out.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
But you asked the prompt But that's crazy because you
said it sounds so good and sounds like it really
connects to you.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
But then it's it's not a person on the end
of the other end of it.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, here's another fire, here's another one of the AI songs.
There are eleven of the spots on the iTunes top
one hundred. This AI artist named Eddie Dalton is on
and people don't even know it's AI, and so they're
very upset about it.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
But this is another song. It's called Dreaming of You.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Look out Teddy Swims.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
I know rightly it's Teddy Swims. Actually, AI, you to
ask the question, this sounds.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Like Teddy SMI to me, it sounds like it would
be on his album.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
It does. Yeah, this guy can't with the whole album.
What is like, it's scary.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
There's an image of him that they create.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Oh yeah, they got the whole cool thing.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
So when people go looking them up, if unless they're
paying attention and know that it's AI, they think it's
an actual artist and.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Then eventually they'll probably have videos of him as well.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I have the I have an AI the AI music
app up on my phone.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Give me a word, Nina orange orange, Okay, right about orange?
Right Victoria, give me a word. Dog, write a song
about an orange dog. Orange dog.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Producer Freeze, give me give me a word. Eats pasta,
that eats pasta.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Okay, we're talking about an AI musical artist that has
eleven spots on the iTunes Top one hundred, and now
I'm just showing people how easy it is to make
a song with AI, even using an app on your phone. So,
write a song about an orange dog that eats pasta.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
What kind of vibe do you want it to be?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Oh, let's go like pop.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Yeah, pop it an upbeat pop song.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
It's gonna be good. And that's it's going to be
crazy about this.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Give me a pop artist in the style of Tate McCray.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
This is gonna be so interesting.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Okay, here we go.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
So we're talking about an AI artist that is eleven
spots on the iTunes Top one hundred charts, and this
might be actually the next one to make it on
the iTunes top one hundred charts. So write a song
about an orange dog that eats pasta. Make it an
upbeat song in the style of Tate McCrae. I'm pressing
create right now, and it's creating it.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I'm so scared it'll take a minute.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Maybe, Yeah, it doesn't take long for it to actually
do the song. Here's another one of the tracks that
is in the top one hundred singles charts on iTunes.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
That is the.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
AI artist that a lot of people are upset because
they didn't realize it was AI, and they're like, man,
I discovered the new artist. This is called stay a
little longer.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I mean, I will say they all somewhat sound a
little similar.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Does that makes you feel a little better?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Then it's like, Okay, you're gonna create.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
But it's also interesting to me that you can release
a bunch of music that all sounds similar and AI
can do it and hit that many on the charts.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
It's like an album. It's I mean, it's like if
an artist put out an album. A lot of those
songs are kind of under the same umbrella, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, And the producer that created this AI artist, named
Eddie Dalton, with eleven spots on the iTunes Top one
hundred singles chart, also previously used AI to land an
AI generated artist at the top of the Christian gospel
charts last year.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Wow, you get money when you land it like top
of the charts. Yeah, sure, streams, you get money on streams.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
But now you're bringing God into it and you don't
even have a soul, Like that's crazy.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
And people are very upset because they've been lied to
by because they probably thought it was a real artist,
and they're like, wait a minute, this is AI. This
is actually the devil's work. I'll have this song for
you in just a second, about an orange dog that
each pasta. Is an upbeat song in the style of
Tate McCrae. We'll play a song right now, come back
(08:21):
and write before the phone prank. You'll hear a clip
of that song if AI is done finished, if it's
finished for a song and time.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Yeah, it's currently working on it. Yeah, it's currently in
the in the booth in the studio.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And this is a song about an orange dog that
eats pasta in the style of Tate McCrae. I just
got from this app on my phone. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Come on, what happens.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
That's not not AI.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It's it's on my it's on my computer and for
some reason the internet is being slow. So pair was
this one second? Your phone prank is coming up in
just a second.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Are we going to get to name this artist? Because
it's in the style of Tate McCray, But technically this
is a brand new song that's never been heard before.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
What Nita.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
So then like you can name the artist, just like
they did with Eddie Dalton. So maybe this is gonna name.
