The band The Velvet Sundown, with 1.1 million fans on Spotify, has confirmed it's an artificial intelligence-generated music project.

The Velvet Sundown has admitted to being a band created by artificial intelligence with human artistic direction. With a '70s-inspired visual style, the band quickly gained popularity on Spotify, raising suspicions about its authenticity. Deezer has flagged their content as AI-generated, and concerns are growing in the music industry about the proliferation of artificially created tracks. Spotify representatives have stated that they do not support AI-generated music and that all tracks are uploaded by authorized third parties.
