Fil -- Your work with exposing abuse in autotuning, prerecorded tracking and lip-synching in purportedly live performances, and most recently, the outright fraud being perpetrated using artificial intelligence, is ground-breaking and incredibly important. You are the Woodward and Bernstein of the music industry. Keep up the great work. P.S. This comment was not generated using artificial intelligence, just the usual kind.
Ultimately I agree with you yet provide a caveat. Context matters. That is Tech is Tech,how use use it is another!! Specifically using tech to decieve people that they are receiving a 'Live Perfomance' which they paid for yet aren't,that's the issue. When it comes down to it I don't think most give a damn how Music,Movies or Art is Generated,we like what we like. Here is really my point. Many like me have grown up watching Star Trek & watched with Jaws agape with every Holo-Deck Scene!! The idea that you can just say... *"Computer,Generate a Live Sympony Concert of a Fictitious Orchestra playing their Original Works."* ...is Awesome!! Just like that a whole Concert Hall with Stage,Instrumentalists & all appears right in front of you!!!!😵🤯 Point is, *All the Field Workers of old viewed Tractors & Industrialized Farming equipment Negatively! Now as Industrialisation gives Way to Automation,it too faces the same scrutiny by those who only choose to focus on the Negatives!* Being able to create by Direct Speech & Thought input is extremely Powerful & Benefitial. *Sadly it will prove to be quite Destructive to those operating on 'Currency' Based Resource Management Systems!* Currency is a hindrance to True Freedom,which Automation could Provide. *What we 'Self Proclaimed' 1st World Nation's suffer from is a Value Placement Dissorder caused by a Lack of Technolgical Awareness & General Missinformation!!*
There's a clothing designer, Cassey Ho, who not long ago made a video showing how someone has stolen her ads & placed an AI face on her body to sell their knock-off clothes of her designs. So they've stolen her designs, her ads, and her body! Outrageous & horrifying 😡
The Chinese have been doing this for over a decade, and sellers on Amazon have been complaining that their products are being jacked for cheap lower priced products. My thing is if we make American products 'made in China" how do we not expect them to eventually develop their own economic integrity?
This is worse than those "react" videos, where content "creators" play someone elses 15 minute video, add a few comments, and get the views/ ad revenue with close to zero effort.
I miss the good old days of musical fraud, when the worst offense was Milli Vanilli receiving a Grammy for an album on which they were falsely credited as the singers.
Fakery should be called out every time. If we allow it to continue, we will never have reality in music again. How very sad! Thanks to you, Fil, we are at least being informed about all of these shenanigans! 😕🎸🎵
ALLOW it to continue? I don't think we have a chance of turning things around. It would have to be addressed case by case and by the time one gets taken care of, a thousand more will have popped up. And that's after the money had already been spent. Too little and definitely too late. It's sad, really.
Fake or not, are people still impressed with some vanilla "guitar player" playing another cover of 'Beat It' ?! Never mind the fact that most of these "guitarists" heavily rely on VSTs, Modelers & pro-tools in order to play in the first place. Seriously, for over a decade now, music has only been one step removed from AI. Most modern acts exploit music production software (triggers, time editing, pitch correction, auto-tune, samples) just to produce sterilized, dynamic-less trite that regurgitates ideas, tones,etc... Just my .02
Social media is fundamentally dishonest communication. It began with the use of pseudonyms or “handles”. The fakery genie isn’t going back in the bottle.
They've done the same with dancing. A French girl called Audrey de Sois competed in a swing dance competition in 2019 and now you've got AI dancers doing Audrey's exact same moves getting millions of views. I don't know if Audrey gave permission or got any royalties for it.
We've reached a point where fake AI musicians are going to be making more money than talented, legitimate, musically gifted individuals. Maybe even more money than a lot of established artists.
Yes, but the fake musicians will be created by bots, so the bots will be making the money. Except the money will be cyber coin and if the coin crashes the bots will go bankrupt...unless they go to Russia where the Russian bots are actually created by Chinese bots. The rest of us...will be unemployed. 😭
@@ernies8828 the porn industry will soon be a huge chaos, people will create fake videos with the face, voice and even ambients of their choice. Nobody will be safe from malicious/revenge porn AI creations
I just looove that I was young in the 90's. No cameras, no internet, no social media, lots of optimism, simple living. Such a great sweet spot between hard times in the 80's and the madness nowadays. Another thought - I hope that live shows played by real musicians will be more appreciated and honoured. Most people can't even imagine the amount of work and time it takes to master an instrument.
Well done. Now I believe it’s 3:05 @mimisounds and 4:55 Larissa Liveir who have been AI manipulated. (allegedly imo) Maybe if you want to, go let the girls know or just give their YT a view.✌🏼
And is what people should do every time they saw fake AI... Dont wait ! Dont let them get views and naking money of that If everyone will do that they will not upload anymore ...well until AI will get too good at it that we will not be able to spot AI video from real one...as they gonna fix the fret and hair issue pretty soon😢
@@neoczy3249 the video platform, like UA-cam, wouldn't give a toss...UA-cam get billions from advertisers that want to sell their product, a small percentage of that goes to video creators, the platforms aren't going to cut off the hand that feeds them, so viral videos will continue to exist....and AI videos will continue to grow.
I've been thinking about starting my own you tube channel that will specifically focus on what I go through from start to finish writing a song, recording not just the guitar but playing all the parts myself, singing all the vocals with no autotune or pitch correct mixing, and mastering. No AI. Mistakes included; to get rid of a mistake that I don't like, it's record the whole track again. Just like, you know, playing live. If I do it, it will be interesting to see if this approach confounds AI bandits. Because Imma tell ya _what,_ I do not have any AI nor am I gonna get any. Just like I thought it would be, AI is being used in the foulest, most scurvy dishonest way. Screw that.
Gary Vee (who recorded nearly 1000 vine videos before his success started) recommends to show the audience your whole path including the failings coz "the path is the goal" ... so go for it ... and humans will like it ... and A.I. wont copy before you re really successful ... send me a link, when you start!!!
The really sad part is the people who know nothing about music whatsoever would argue forever that you're just jealous and you don't know what you're talking when you point out to them that they're being scammed. Sadly enough UA-cam is complicit in this because of the money in ad revenue.
And we have a president elect who said we had airports in the 1700s (among a million other lies). Doesn't help when those at the top are so stupid and deceptive.
I spent years writing and recording an all original track, paying an artist to make a stop-motion video, and I only got a few hundred views. Really discouraging. I don't like this world.
How were we to know? Pay to advertise at least to the value of your investment in the work. Usually it takes years to build an audience. Say you got 90% better statistics on the video, you'd get 1,000 on the next, then 10,000 and so on. Getting hundreds on a new thing is fantastic. Also, we weren't invested in the project, you didn't film the making off run up, release teasers, etc. Most people ust aren't able to watch thousands of new videos to pick out the gems. I don't even know which of your videos has stop motion in. Put it in the title at least, they're much higher effort and garner more attention. Frankly i'd be happy with what i'd produced for it's own sake.
Being a musician my whole life and all the hard work I put into it over the years and the sacrifices have made I'm afraid to put any music out any more to just get stolen
I do not at all as in 19, I had a meeting with a guy who needed a singer for his tune which he actually bought off CL for $100.00. I saw where this was as going and just thought of the song title by The Who: "All this Music...(can't finish the title..too sad.) I told him I was not happy singing to a song someone bought off Craigslist in order to call it his own.
I’ve been considering recording my own music and getting it out. But I’ve heard some scary stories about the people behind AI stealing music from other musicians who have put in their own hard work.
Don't be. You can only do what you can do. This is certainly shameful, but it's what's happening. All you can do is keep plugging along and hope people like it. I'm facing the same thing in a related field. I retired not long ago, so I won't be robbed as much as I would be now, but I still will continue to create hope for the best. It's all I CAN do. It's all YOU can do. It's all the more shameful if your art is your living, and it sounds like yours is. Mine was and I guess I'm lucky to be out of it. I still love it, but I no longer DEPEND on it. Best wishes!
@@glamgal7106 It is very important of you do so to actually copyright your material with the copyright office. DO NOT poor man copyright your music. That will not be enough. You do not say whether you are in the U.S. or England or not, but when you register a song with the copyright office in the States, lyrics are registered with a form separate from the music itself which requires a separate form..and a separate cheque! Ppl stealing other artist's material has gone on for decades; AI has just merely made the practice easier to be anonymous; other than that, it is the same old song and dance as it were!
In the old-fashioned expression "brave new world," the word "brave" meant wild and unruly, not courageous. So yes, you're spot on using the expression.
Yeah this phrase is very appropriate, i love saying it all the time. In the original Shakespeare its kind of an ironic joke, 'brave' is meant to be unironically positive when said by the ignorant speaker, but we the audience know she is being super naive. "How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, That has such people in't."
@@localbod Except that the eyes won't give it away anymore. I'm even starting to suspect that the whole number of fingers thing was something intentional...See, you are still better, you can spot the difference...
Years ago, soon after Forrest Gump was released, there was a program on the Discovery Channel showing how they created the 'handshake' scenes that made it appear Forrest was really shaking hands with JFK or LBJ. My husband and I, both baby boomers and he a Viet Nam Vet, looked at each other and said: "There it is. This is the last time you can ever believe anything you see or hear unless you are truly in person."
I hate AI as much as the next guy. But I think another more subtle factor at play here is that we've been accustomed to "If it's a computer, you sign away all legal rights". It's been that way since the 90s. "By clicking 'I agree' , I give up my right to sue". Maybe it's time to reverse that? If you do the same thing (impersonate another human or represent yourself as another business) in the real world, you will get sued in your local jurisdiction. But we're all just resigned to the fact that it's just not possible with a tech company. Well, that can be changed: state and local governments could step in and allow regular citizens to file small claims or "petty" ($10k-100k) lawsuits against youtube, ticktock, and any other major site. If the site doesn't consent to letting you have a right to sue, then the state revokes the right of the tech company to do business in their state. That doesn't have to be limited to censorship (I know the internet is notoriously difficult to block), but the states could (individually) make it illegal to buy advertising from Google, or pay for any google products, as a resident of their state.
there are little glitchy things around hair and eyes...the trick to catch the music thieves, would be to stick some trademark sound or notes that sort of identify you as playing it. I don't know how one would do that exactly. Kind of a 'sound watermark'.
Whew. Great video, Fil. What a crazy time we are living in. I'm going to go watch some Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stone concert videos from the early 1970's...
I'm properly grateful for having been about for some of those decades and extremely grateful for the creative signposts that made me aware of what came before - something that appears to be ever more in danger these days. The 00's weren't terrible, but the last decade or so, with some exceptions, has been a downward spiral. I'm glad I've still got my hard copies (vinyl, cassette, CD) of what once was and hopefully that will help my daughter discern musical reality from the fakery that is AI. The most worrying thing for me is that the AI will sterilise a fundamental joy of creativity and that joy is being able to create from and through your own self and on your own merits.
Thank God for Fil. I read an article in the news from a producer talked about Eddie Van Halen, and he said in the 90s there was no creative guitarists. Hence the lack of solos in the 90s. I'm just quoting.
@@pashon4percushon , In what context did he say that? A lot of guitarists were inspired by EVH, and, to some extent, copied his style. There were other innovative guitarists at that time (maybe more in the eighties, but still plenty in the nineties).
I do wildlife and event photography and we are seeing the same thing. People are faking photographs and using them for revenue instead of trudging through the outdoors in all sorts of weather taking photos and spendings days editing them. This is going to be a real problem for all artists moving forward. Copyright laws may have to be strengthened and certainly social media sites will have to be more diligent about weeding these out. In the meantime the rest of us will have to call these out when we see them.
These videos are 0% about music, and 100% about perverts. The people that are watching these videos couldn't care less whether it's real or not. This concept of having a pretty guitarist look up and stare at you, really began with a truly brilliant guitarist named Gabriella Quevado, and then the imposters set to work taking it to a truly sick level.
My dad has a record from the 70's and he has a cucumber shoved down his tight pants to show off his package to women. It's always been 'about perverts' to some degree, but you are missing two other things. One, why are you assuming the views are comments are real? They're faked too. The other is chinese nationalists fetishizing chinese supremacy. It's a rabid market. Besides, if women didn't fetishize guitarists i probably wouldn't have learned to play.
I have always been afraid of the potential of AI since I first learned about it in college back in the early ‘80s. I was a computer science major and learned one of the first AI languages called LISP. As with any science, it starts innocently enough, but humans being human…
Guess it's back to the physical-only formats… With every copy sold, print right on the CD, cassette, or vinyl album itself, "By purchasing this, you agree never to post it on the Internet for free or otherwise, nor to sell any copies without written permission. Violators will be prosecuted." The trick is not to stop crime, because you can't, but you CAN make it more easily punishable.
I saw those first 3 vids several days ago. In the comments sections, many people believed they were real with only a minority at the time pointing out they were AI. This is the same for a number of AI animal vids doing the rounds, including a giant pet owl on the owner’s arm, and a giant octopus on the deck of a fishing vessel. It’s alarming how so many are easily fooled, particularly regarding the music vids
I think this fraudulent use of AI goes to show that if ignorance is bliss, then people are desperate to be happy with not knowing what’s really happening.
You have to remember there are a gazillion children online seeing these things and they're not sophisticated/mature or discerning enough to realize they're seeking AI fakery.
People,....go watch live music played by live musicians on stage please. Shut down the computer and support live performances that don't use autotune or AI. There's no substitute for watching a live performance by original artists in the moment. That's the only place left to find intrinsic performances that exemplify the human experience. Everything else is just untrustworthy these days. As a live performer, I live in the moment for that moment when on stage where magic happens every night but you have to be there to see and hear it because that should be what you want to see, not this AI fake waste of time. RBB 🎹
In essence this is theft. In the UK if someone steals your car up grades it with wheels tyres go faster pack and a respray If, Mr plod come across it then it goes back to the original owner with all the goodies on it In this case all the ad revenue should go back to the original uploader
Right, it's obvious. If I kidnap someone, and while they're unconscious I hire an unscrupulous plastic surgeon to sculpt a new face on them... they don't become my property. "This obviously isn't the same woman in the license photo. Totally different face. Plus, THAT woman had fingerprints..." It doesn't work that way. If you commit a 2nd crime, in order to try to cover up the first crime, that doesn't absolve you, even if you did a great job that would fool most people. I'm usually very progressive about sampling... unless it's lazy sampling, which is what these examples are. Sample a whole track, have an app alter the most identifying aspect, and then reupload it as your own creation... that's not legit.
This isn't the case, actually. They do still have ownership over the extra parts and do have a claim there. Stealing more back off them isn't how our system currently works.
@@GizzyDillespeetheir new face is the intellectual property of the surgeon. If you stole canvas and had an artist make a masterpiece, it's still the artist's work and not the canvas owner's. Anyone can rotoscope a work of film and it is transformative. Rarely done as it is tedious. When AI is used that's still transformative. You're in the copyrighting dance moves department. While some of this is illegal, if they were to use say two works to train the AI on, it would be completely distinct from both. The fact is AI learning is modelled on human learning, so you'd have to ban humans from learning from these public works too somehow. It'd be nice to prevent AI replacing the majority of human art. But it is unrealistic. On the plus side, AI can make custom music and art for those that could never afford it before. Best to embrace the benefits.
This is also how AI art is made…they take bits of other people’s paintings and generate something rearranged with multiple pieces of other works of art. Ultimately it ends up looking like a completely new painting, when in actuality, nothing was created by them, at all! Sadly, this gets entered into art contests and winning prize money, robbing the true artists of their efforts. In many ways, it’s similar to what’s going on in women’s sports…people with extraordinary talents are being marginalized by competitors exploiting the venues! And yes, an AI has recently won first place in an art contest along with the prize money…the fallout is already in play in the here and now!
I think it's obvious that we are at the tipping point of losing all trust in digital information. What this future might look like is fascinating. Will we see digital/internet free products and services? Digital free societies? Maybe the Amish will have the last laugh.
This could get so bad that the only thing we can trust is in-person interaction. it's hard to tell what is real even on this level when you're looking at such a small screen on a phone.
I agree. I think in person interaction is coming back, in fact my business is completely based on that. I also live stream every week, so It will be interesting to see if that increases in the next year or not.
The artificial girls and women got progressively more objectified so that I was afraid to see what would be next after the 3rd one. I think we can see what the AI has been trained on besides music and that's the reason for all the views. It's creeping me out that this is how so many see, and/or want to see women. I'm so sorry for the girls growing up now being bombarded with these images instead of seeing real women with real talent and accomplishments.
Amen to what you just said-it would be better if people used their technical skills for the betterment of humanity. It’s really frightening how people are using AI to defraud others.
They do not have above average technical skills. As Fil demonstrated this software is available to all, but has great and legitimate film production utility and improve internet anonymity. The software itself is currently a 'you make it or others will' camp. It isn't a single great invention but a logical development from early machine learning. Eventually the ideal is you can generate a custom film just for you that never existed before suited to your own tastes, even starring you and your family if you wished.
I think all AI-generated images should have to have, by law, integrated invisible signatures of some kind. What if a legal case comes up in which a photo or video decides the case? There needs to be some form of being able to determine, if only for legal and not just ethical reasons.
Companies selling AI write in the agreement that they are not responsible for its use. It is a tool, the person who uses it is responsible for its use. But there are many countries in the world, there will be no identical laws.
Legit store web sites use security certificates to prove to web browsers that you’re visiting the true vendor and not some scam site. Perhaps these certificates could be used to apply a digital signature to creative works like videos or music. Artists would digitally sign their videos, and anyone could verify that a given video truly came from the real artist. Maybe Fil could ask a nerd friend if this idea makes sense. But if banks and stores online trust this tech it seems a good solution for musicians. Until quantum computing breaks everything that is.
One of the many problems with AI faces in the demonstrations shared here, is the empty gaze as in the first one. I suspect AI will eventually be able to detect itself in the future through facial recognition and movement tracking.
It is exactly a Brave New World. Aldous Huxley's book "Brave New World" was about a dystopian society that was not at all good; the title was ironic. (Google's "AI Overview" supplies this info as well: The title comes from a line in The Tempest by William Shakespeare, where Miranda says, "O brave new world, that has such people in 't". However, Shakespeare intended this line to be ironic because Miranda is too innocent to recognize the evil nature of the island's visitors.)
😆😆😆 I've been singing out of tune and out of time to prove I'm not cheating! I think with this new face change, it will help if I try to look as ugly as poss...
I know. Part is the autotune, etc., but part is her heavy makeup, hair, and costuming. She's a pretty girl, but ends up like a "perfect" AI Barbie doll. As someone elsewhere in the comments mentioned, this is horrible for girls/women who are obsessed with being just like her, and what they are seeing in concert is not real, it's unobtainable without $$$$$ to create a fake shell. :(
As a musician myself who writes, records, mixes, masters my ‘own’ music and then creates music videos for my songs, AI is extremely disturbing. In fact, the whole digital distribution on my content has made me stop and re-think how I am distributing my work to the world. As long as content creators give up their creations to music and video distribution to huge corporations via the likes of Spotify, Apple, Amazon, Google…etc all for the fame game, real music, and soon to follow real film, will be a thing of the past. There should be so many lawsuits out there because of AI and the fraud of people using it to literally steal other peoples work and call it their own. I can’t wait til people would rather go and see an AI band play live than real musicians! The whole thing has gotten out of hand in a very very short time.
if someone posts enhanced photos, videos, or augmented media using editing tools or AI, they must provide a disclaimer. Otherwise, their posts should be deleted and given a warning for the first mistake. After 3 posts, then they need to be removed. Now comes the challenges: 1. Do we have the tools to detect fakes/enhancements? 2. Do we have the ability to validate the identity of the individual? 3. Is there any media company willing to enforce 1&2 while forgoing views and potential revenues? The reason people post is to get people to view and pick up likes, which earns them advertising money. Advertisers have built empires for companies by posting enhanced portrayals of their products and services from the beginning. Every company enhances its message to get customers. At the end of the day, we are witnessing the abandonment of health, happiness, reality, and truth in the pursuit of money.
I know what I'm going to do... I'm going to go to more live concerts of little known artists and support them that way. Real live artists, playing real live music in the moment. It's the only way we'll know it's real anymore.
This is such a good Fil video, and I was so enthralled that I watched it again all the way through. I do that alot with WOP videos, like having seconds of a tasty Thanksgiving meal. In a world where too many people already lie and deceive with wild abandon, this is disgusting as well as scary. My eternal thanks for being on top of it, Fil. The Stallone face was a great touch.
Fil, quite frankly, AI is terrifying! I honestly don't know why it is necessary! This analysis video exposes how it is being used in music. What a sadness! I am so happy your Stallone face is gone! 😅😂 Well done, Fil very informative video! 💜💜
I'm afraid this video doesn't show the serious side of the impacts of AI on the artistic process of creating music. What Fil exposed here is a mere distraction.
Back in the sixties, if you were hard-working enough to build your own equipment and put on your own rock band shows, the local music agent would first try to steal your band members, and if that failed he would get his own thugs to tear down every public advertisement you had put up, in order to drive you out of business. In other words, gangsterism. Plus ca change, plus c'est le meme chose, some Frenchman said (with a cedilla and circumflex). Nothing has changed, except the tech . . . I love your work. Cheers. 😎
I agree. It’s sad that he can’t sing the way he wants to, but we all age, and change, and lose abilities we had in our youth. Chasing eternal youth is not going to lead to personal happiness.
One problem I can foresee with AI is in the field of law and justice. Picture this. A man is being tried for a bank robbery in which a bystander is shot dead. Someone who has a grudge against the defendant, creates a video, using AI, where the defendant's likeness is inserted, and is shown robbing the bank and shooting the bystander. They present it as having come from a surveillance camera. AI has gotten so advanced that it is extremely difficult to determine whether or not the video is authentic! This defendant could plausibly be convicted of a crime he has no knowledge about or connection with! This is just one example where AI is maliciously used against someone, I'm sure there are many others, limited only by one's imagination and creativity.
Oh, jeez......you're onto something here. It won't happen soon, but I'm sure there are those working on it. Those people in prison have computers and plenty of time on their hands, after all.
When you see some of the artists impressions of a criminal on some of the old crime stopper shows and realise a conviction was made I'm going out on a limb here and saying the basic cartoon AI app would be ample for framing someone.
Video and pictures are already not a judicial proof in front of any court in the USA...don't know in the UK... Soon will be harder and harder for witnesses to prove their said as any document pr source can be so easily falsified....politicians we love this and spread thousand of fake news manipulating people in their favor...futur is already doomed
12:00 "Intellectual Property" I believe is the word you're searching for, Fil. Excellent video. Question: Can't you put a copyright claim on the video?
Art has killed itself. Banana-taped-to-wall-style. A long time ago. Once you see that most art, especially new and expensive art is low-effort BS, and you have a new tool that can generate BS at no effort, you cash in.
There is a dangerous line people have crossed. “Well, I have to use AI to keep up with the release schedules of others using AI.” All AI is trained on existing content. When music is involved you’re stealing that musician’s performance. There is a possibility AI will begin to alter performances just enough to fool audiences, or worse, juries.
@TacticsTechniquesandProcedures I can easily recognize it as trash. I blame the MBAs. They do nothing but reap the benefits of other people's talent. Elon is a perfect example. He can't even tell you how a battery works. Atlas Shrugged is the stupidest book ever written by a human.
I have reported loads of channels that are mimicking real artists channels, then uploading fake AI music videos with official on the thumbnails, so far UA-cam have done nothing.
Hi Fil I appreciate your commentary videos As someone has commented below, the Meta issue of this sort of video is the objectifying “hot chicks” bodies The millions of viewers are not very interested in the music allegedly being played Niw that everyone is able to view what they want to see anytime I don’t see any change being likely The video is not “pornography “ but it is being watched for minor titillation
Read books, watch movies, go out and do sports, learn to cook, go to the beach, learn to play music, meet with friends and have a beer…. Plenty of much more useful things to do than watch UA-cam and worry about fake girls playing guitar. It’s insignificant and who should care ?
Fil, I love the work you are doing and the videos. Keep it up. 👍 Question, If the original artist happens to spot this AI fraud who do they report it to?
Didn't notice at first. And when AI is really good, if you're not ready for it you can be fooled. On another note, I've seen some cool sci-fi movies with animated tattoos so maybe that's not too far off either.
@@niveketihw1897 Luckily we can tell what's an AI as for now but we won't in the future as they get better if nothing's done against these scams. I felt sorry for this girl when I saw this, I follow her on Instagram and recognised her because of that tattoo
Thanks Fil for educating us on the shenanigans going on in the music industry and UA-cam. I’m so glad I have a library of music in vinyl and CDs that predates this era to listen to. Rock on!

What a great comment!
Careful how you treat AI, one day they will hold your life in their hand.
So the old adage "Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see." has now become believe NOTHING.
You have to have strong first principles.
There's a clothing designer, Cassey Ho, who not long ago made a video showing how someone has stolen her ads & placed an AI face on her body to sell their knock-off clothes of her designs. So they've stolen her designs, her ads, and her body! Outrageous & horrifying 😡
I have seen this even without AI.
The Chinese have been doing this for over a decade, and sellers on Amazon have been complaining that their products are being jacked for cheap lower priced products. My thing is if we make American products 'made in China" how do we not expect them to eventually develop their own economic integrity?
Thats fucked up

This is worse than those "react" videos, where content "creators" play someone elses 15 minute video, add a few comments, and get the views/ ad revenue with close to zero effort.
yup. about as boring as watching someone play video games.
Absolutely insane where we are heading!
Hope you're doing marvellously well.
Love your stuff, Warren. It is very worrying.
We are already there. :(
Fil is already on it
Frightening where we are heading.
Yo Warren, I m already looking forward reviewing all your videos with a beautyful asian busty on your body. 🥳 (just kidding)
I miss the good old days of musical fraud, when the worst offense was Milli Vanilli receiving a Grammy for an album on which they were falsely credited as the singers.
Their lives were ruined and now that’s all there is 😢
Fakery should be called out every time. If we allow it to continue, we will never have reality in music again. How very sad! Thanks to you, Fil, we are at least being informed about all of these shenanigans! 😕🎸🎵
Many of us already knew about this before AI was even a thing.
ALLOW it to continue? I don't think we have a chance of turning things around. It would have to be addressed case by case and by the time one gets taken care of, a thousand more will have popped up. And that's after the money had already been spent. Too little and definitely too late. It's sad, really.
Fake or not, are people still impressed with some vanilla "guitar player" playing another cover of 'Beat It' ?! Never mind the fact that most of these "guitarists" heavily rely on VSTs, Modelers & pro-tools in order to play in the first place. Seriously, for over a decade now, music has only been one step removed from AI. Most modern acts exploit music production software (triggers, time editing, pitch correction, auto-tune, samples) just to produce sterilized, dynamic-less trite that regurgitates ideas, tones,etc... Just my .02
Social media is fundamentally dishonest communication.
It began with the use of pseudonyms or “handles”. The fakery genie isn’t going back in the bottle.
@@ernies8828 I'm just a little curious as to how "some of you" knew AI was a thing before it was even a thing? That literally makes no sense.
They've done the same with dancing. A French girl called Audrey de Sois competed in a swing dance competition in 2019 and now you've got AI dancers doing Audrey's exact same moves getting millions of views. I don't know if Audrey gave permission or got any royalties for it.
lol she will not get royalty because what yu said doesn'y exist
We've reached a point where fake AI musicians are going to be making more money than talented, legitimate, musically gifted individuals. Maybe even more money than a lot of established artists.
Not “are going to” in your scenario. It’s already happening. 😢
Yes, but the fake musicians will be created by bots, so the bots will be making the money. Except the money will be cyber coin and if the coin crashes the bots will go bankrupt...unless they go to Russia where the Russian bots are actually created by Chinese bots. The rest of us...will be unemployed. 😭
And, as always, it's people who are the problem. Don't listen to it, don't follow it, don't gove it likes, views and subscriptions.
Music and sexuality are being grievously exploited, and it is wrong.

I just looove that I was young in the 90's. No cameras, no internet, no social media, lots of optimism, simple living. Such a great sweet spot between hard times in the 80's and the madness nowadays. Another thought - I hope that live shows played by real musicians will be more appreciated and honoured. Most people can't even imagine the amount of work and time it takes to master an instrument.
I'll stick with live bands at the local pub...
Well said. And the open mikes at your local bar.
I'm with you...
Only a matter of time before you show up to to see live music and the band will be holograms.
It's all just a matter of time before someone figures a way to fake that, too. Get back to me in five years.
This kind of fakery might just be the catalyst that re-sparks the local live scene again.
3:15 dots and pickups? Her frickin HAND is stretching like rubber and disappearing!
I just reported the channel who produced the videos you showed, Fil. Thanks a lot for uncovering these frauds and make these things public!
Well done. Now I believe it’s 3:05 @mimisounds and 4:55 Larissa Liveir who have been AI manipulated. (allegedly imo) Maybe if you want to, go let the girls know or just give their YT a view.✌🏼
Good on ya!
And is what people should do every time they saw fake AI...
Dont wait ! Dont let them get views and naking money of that
If everyone will do that they will not upload anymore ...well until AI will get too good at it that we will not be able to spot AI video from real one...as they gonna fix the fret and hair issue pretty soon😢

@@neoczy3249 the video platform, like UA-cam, wouldn't give a toss...UA-cam get billions from advertisers that want to sell their product, a small percentage of that goes to video creators, the platforms aren't going to cut off the hand that feeds them, so viral videos will continue to exist....and AI videos will continue to grow.
I've been thinking about starting my own you tube channel that will specifically focus on what I go through from start to finish writing a song, recording not just the guitar but playing all the parts myself, singing all the vocals with no autotune or pitch correct mixing, and mastering.
No AI. Mistakes included; to get rid of a mistake that I don't like, it's record the whole track again. Just like, you know, playing live.
If I do it, it will be interesting to see if this approach confounds AI bandits. Because Imma tell ya _what,_ I do not have any AI nor am I gonna get any. Just like I thought it would be, AI is being used in the foulest, most scurvy dishonest way. Screw that.
Gary Vee (who recorded nearly 1000 vine videos before his success started) recommends to show the audience your whole path including the failings coz "the path is the goal" ... so go for it ... and humans will like it ... and A.I. wont copy before you re really successful ... send me a link, when you start!!!
The really sad part is the people who know nothing about music whatsoever would argue forever that you're just jealous and you don't know what you're talking when you point out to them that they're being scammed. Sadly enough UA-cam is complicit in this because of the money in ad revenue.
I keep listening to the old classical bands where AI didn’t exist to enjoy real handmade music.

LOL.
@@tonyduncan9852why did you laugh at that?
@@tonyduncan9852 There's nothing funny about that.
How were we to know? Pay to advertise at least to the value of your investment in the work. Usually it takes years to build an audience. Say you got 90% better statistics on the video, you'd get 1,000 on the next, then 10,000 and so on. Getting hundreds on a new thing is fantastic. Also, we weren't invested in the project, you didn't film the making off run up, release teasers, etc. Most people ust aren't able to watch thousands of new videos to pick out the gems.
I don't even know which of your videos has stop motion in. Put it in the title at least, they're much higher effort and garner more attention.
Frankly i'd be happy with what i'd produced for it's own sake.

Stallone wishes the same thing.
The giant Marshall amp head behind the couch is a dead giveaway.
I saw that too. 😁
Being a musician my whole life and all the hard work I put into it over the years and the sacrifices have made I'm afraid to put any music out any more to just get stolen
I do not at all as in 19, I had a meeting with a guy who needed a singer for his tune which he actually bought off CL for $100.00. I saw where this was as going and just thought of the song title by The Who: "All this Music...(can't finish the title..too sad.) I told him I was not happy singing to a song someone bought off Craigslist in order to call it his own.
I’ve been considering recording my own music and getting it out. But I’ve heard some scary stories about the people behind AI stealing music from other musicians who have put in their own hard work.
Don't be. You can only do what you can do. This is certainly shameful, but it's what's happening. All you can do is keep plugging along and hope people like it. I'm facing the same thing in a related field. I retired not long ago, so I won't be robbed as much as I would be now, but I still will continue to create hope for the best. It's all I CAN do. It's all YOU can do. It's all the more shameful if your art is your living, and it sounds like yours is. Mine was and I guess I'm lucky to be out of it. I still love it, but I no longer DEPEND on it. Best wishes!
@@glamgal7106 It is very important of you do so to actually copyright your material with the copyright office. DO NOT poor man copyright your music. That will not be enough. You do not say whether you are in the U.S. or England or not, but when you register a song with the copyright office in the States, lyrics are registered with a form separate from the music itself which requires a separate form..and a separate cheque! Ppl stealing other artist's material has gone on for decades; AI has just merely made the practice easier to be anonymous; other than that, it is the same old song and dance as it were!
Pretty much.
But these sorts of AI being used.. it's very deceptive.
In the old-fashioned expression "brave new world," the word "brave" meant wild and unruly, not courageous. So yes, you're spot on using the expression.
Yeah this phrase is very appropriate, i love saying it all the time. In the original Shakespeare its kind of an ironic joke, 'brave' is meant to be unironically positive when said by the ignorant speaker, but we the audience know she is being super naive. "How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, That has such people in't."

Years ago, soon after Forrest Gump was released, there was a program on the Discovery Channel showing how they created the 'handshake' scenes that made it appear Forrest was really shaking hands with JFK or LBJ. My husband and I, both baby boomers and he a Viet Nam Vet, looked at each other and said: "There it is. This is the last time you can ever believe anything you see or hear unless you are truly in person."
I hate AI as much as the next guy. But I think another more subtle factor at play here is that we've been accustomed to "If it's a computer, you sign away all legal rights". It's been that way since the 90s. "By clicking 'I agree' , I give up my right to sue". Maybe it's time to reverse that? If you do the same thing (impersonate another human or represent yourself as another business) in the real world, you will get sued in your local jurisdiction. But we're all just resigned to the fact that it's just not possible with a tech company. Well, that can be changed:
state and local governments could step in and allow regular citizens to file small claims or "petty" ($10k-100k) lawsuits against youtube, ticktock, and any other major site. If the site doesn't consent to letting you have a right to sue, then the state revokes the right of the tech company to do business in their state. That doesn't have to be limited to censorship (I know the internet is notoriously difficult to block), but the states could (individually) make it illegal to buy advertising from Google, or pay for any google products, as a resident of their state.
there are little glitchy things around hair and eyes...the trick to catch the music thieves, would be to stick some trademark sound or notes that sort of identify you as playing it. I don't know how one would do that exactly. Kind of a 'sound watermark'.
Good idea - old time mapmakers used to do something like this, putting fake features on their maps so plagiarism could be spotted.
"looks like a bit of a cartoon" lol. Great comment, Fil! Thanks for pointing out all of this trickery. Much appreciated.
Sadly the cartoonish nature can easily be interpreted as part of the artistry. Makes it suck even more.
Also, anime-like beauty is becoming the beauty trend right now I think.
Whew. Great video, Fil. What a crazy time we are living in. I'm going to go watch some Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stone concert videos from the early 1970's...
Thank God for the 50, 60, 70' 80, 90s. 😢
Exactly my thoughts but even that isn't safe from AI anymore
I'm properly grateful for having been about for some of those decades and extremely grateful for the creative signposts that made me aware of what came before - something that appears to be ever more in danger these days.
The 00's weren't terrible, but the last decade or so, with some exceptions, has been a downward spiral.
I'm glad I've still got my hard copies (vinyl, cassette, CD) of what once was and hopefully that will help my daughter discern musical reality from the fakery that is AI.
The most worrying thing for me is that the AI will sterilise a fundamental joy of creativity and that joy is being able to create from and through your own self and on your own merits.
Thank God for Fil. I read an article in the news from a producer talked about Eddie Van Halen, and he said in the 90s there was no creative guitarists. Hence the lack of solos in the 90s. I'm just quoting.
@@pashon4percushon ,
In what context did he say that? A lot of guitarists were inspired by EVH, and, to some extent, copied his style. There were other innovative guitarists at that time (maybe more in the eighties, but still plenty in the nineties).
There are a few that buck the trend: I read that Jack White stated that White Stripes Elephant (2003) was made without use of any computers.
I do wildlife and event photography and we are seeing the same thing. People are faking photographs and using them for revenue instead of trudging through the outdoors in all sorts of weather taking photos and spendings days editing them. This is going to be a real problem for all artists moving forward. Copyright laws may have to be strengthened and certainly social media sites will have to be more diligent about weeding these out. In the meantime the rest of us will have to call these out when we see them.
I'm 55 now Fil. Long ago ago a music supervisor and a sub regional rock promoter. This frightens me.
These videos are 0% about music, and 100% about perverts. The people that are watching these videos couldn't care less whether it's real or not. This concept of having a pretty guitarist look up and stare at you, really began with a truly brilliant guitarist named Gabriella Quevado, and then the imposters set to work taking it to a truly sick level.
My dad has a record from the 70's and he has a cucumber shoved down his tight pants to show off his package to women. It's always been 'about perverts' to some degree, but you are missing two other things. One, why are you assuming the views are comments are real? They're faked too. The other is chinese nationalists fetishizing chinese supremacy. It's a rabid market.
Besides, if women didn't fetishize guitarists i probably wouldn't have learned to play.
I have always been afraid of the potential of AI since I first learned about it in college back in the early ‘80s. I was a computer science major and learned one of the first AI languages called LISP. As with any science, it starts innocently enough, but humans being human…
LISP - Lots of Infuriating, Stupid Parentheses...
Guess it's back to the physical-only formats… With every copy sold, print right on the CD, cassette, or vinyl album itself, "By purchasing this, you agree never to post it on the Internet for free or otherwise, nor to sell any copies without written permission. Violators will be prosecuted." The trick is not to stop crime, because you can't, but you CAN make it more easily punishable.
I saw those first 3 vids several days ago. In the comments sections, many people believed they were real with only a minority at the time pointing out they were AI. This is the same for a number of AI animal vids doing the rounds, including a giant pet owl on the owner’s arm, and a giant octopus on the deck of a fishing vessel. It’s alarming how so many are easily fooled, particularly regarding the music vids
I think this fraudulent use of AI goes to show that if ignorance is bliss, then people are desperate to be happy with not knowing what’s really happening.
There’s a sucker born every minute.
You have to remember there are a gazillion children online seeing these things and they're not sophisticated/mature or discerning enough to realize they're seeking AI fakery.
No one will AI my face as it's like a bulldog chewing a wasp. Lol😂
im impressed that you,as a pro musician,still can be so calm.. ^^
People,....go watch live music played by live musicians on stage please. Shut down the computer and support live performances that don't use autotune or AI. There's no substitute for watching a live performance by original artists in the moment. That's the only place left to find intrinsic performances that exemplify the human experience. Everything else is just untrustworthy these days. As a live performer, I live in the moment for that moment when on stage where magic happens every night but you have to be there to see and hear it because that should be what you want to see, not this AI fake waste of time. RBB 🎹
In essence this is theft. In the UK if someone steals your car up grades it with wheels tyres go faster pack and a respray If, Mr plod come across it then it goes back to the original owner with all the goodies on it In this case all the ad revenue should go back to the original uploader
But it never will.
Right, it's obvious. If I kidnap someone, and while they're unconscious I hire an unscrupulous plastic surgeon to sculpt a new face on them... they don't become my property. "This obviously isn't the same woman in the license photo. Totally different face. Plus, THAT woman had fingerprints..."
It doesn't work that way. If you commit a 2nd crime, in order to try to cover up the first crime, that doesn't absolve you, even if you did a great job that would fool most people.
I'm usually very progressive about sampling... unless it's lazy sampling, which is what these examples are. Sample a whole track, have an app alter the most identifying aspect, and then reupload it as your own creation... that's not legit.
This isn't the case, actually. They do still have ownership over the extra parts and do have a claim there. Stealing more back off them isn't how our system currently works.
@@GizzyDillespeetheir new face is the intellectual property of the surgeon. If you stole canvas and had an artist make a masterpiece, it's still the artist's work and not the canvas owner's.
Anyone can rotoscope a work of film and it is transformative. Rarely done as it is tedious. When AI is used that's still transformative. You're in the copyrighting dance moves department. While some of this is illegal, if they were to use say two works to train the AI on, it would be completely distinct from both.
The fact is AI learning is modelled on human learning, so you'd have to ban humans from learning from these public works too somehow.
It'd be nice to prevent AI replacing the majority of human art. But it is unrealistic. On the plus side, AI can make custom music and art for those that could never afford it before. Best to embrace the benefits.
2:30, the big clue is she's got 6 fingers! LOL
It's so weird how AI can produce things down to a specific curl in a woman's hair and then you look lower and her ankle looks like a swipe of paint.
This is also how AI art is made…they take bits of other people’s paintings and generate something rearranged with multiple pieces of other works of art. Ultimately it ends up looking like a completely new painting, when in actuality, nothing was created by them, at all! Sadly, this gets entered into art contests and winning prize money, robbing the true artists of their efforts. In many ways, it’s similar to what’s going on in women’s sports…people with extraordinary talents are being marginalized by competitors exploiting the venues!
And yes, an AI has recently won first place in an art contest along with the prize money…the fallout is already in play in the here and now!
This whole business is showing Barnum quote that "A sucker is born every minute" to need upgrading to "A hundred suckers are born every millisecond".
Crooks on the interweb. Who would have thought it?
I think it's obvious that we are at the tipping point of losing all trust in digital information. What this future might look like is fascinating. Will we see digital/internet free products and services? Digital free societies? Maybe the Amish will have the last laugh.
You shouldn't trust information (not just digital) unless you have at least two independent sources. That's been the case for decades.
You'll end up breathing digital air. Wait . . .
This could get so bad that the only thing we can trust is in-person interaction. it's hard to tell what is real even on this level when you're looking at such a small screen on a phone.
I agree. I think in person interaction is coming back, in fact my business is completely based on that.
I also live stream every week, so It will be interesting to see if that increases in the next year or not.
The artificial girls and women got progressively more objectified so that I was afraid to see what would be next after the 3rd one. I think we can see what the AI has been trained on besides music and that's the reason for all the views. It's creeping me out that this is how so many see, and/or want to see women. I'm so sorry for the girls growing up now being bombarded with these images instead of seeing real women with real talent and accomplishments.
what about the 12 year old boys being targeted too 😳
Yeah, it’s all horrifying 😢
I agree. Not sure it's even about the music at all and all about the perving instead.
It is from the 60s anti-Christian communist sexual revolution that pushed all of this garbage.
It's sad that regression is seen as progression.
Now we know why they ask,"Are you a human?" Thanks Fil...
Sad times. It would be great if people with these technical skills would use them for the betterment of man. This is ridiculous. Thanks Fil.
Amen to what you just said-it would be better if people used their technical skills for the betterment of humanity. It’s really frightening how people are using AI to defraud others.
They do not have above average technical skills. As Fil demonstrated this software is available to all, but has great and legitimate film production utility and improve internet anonymity. The software itself is currently a 'you make it or others will' camp. It isn't a single great invention but a logical development from early machine learning.
Eventually the ideal is you can generate a custom film just for you that never existed before suited to your own tastes, even starring you and your family if you wished.
What scares me most is that one day people may come to accept this as common practice. What a blow that could be to creativity and original thought!
I think all AI-generated images should have to have, by law, integrated invisible signatures of some kind. What if a legal case comes up in which a photo or video decides the case? There needs to be some form of being able to determine, if only for legal and not just ethical reasons.
creators should tick the box
Companies selling AI write in the agreement that they are not responsible for its use. It is a tool, the person who uses it is responsible for its use. But there are many countries in the world, there will be no identical laws.
Legit store web sites use security certificates to prove to web browsers that you’re visiting the true vendor and not some scam site. Perhaps these certificates could be used to apply a digital signature to creative works like videos or music. Artists would digitally sign their videos, and anyone could verify that a given video truly came from the real artist. Maybe Fil could ask a nerd friend if this idea makes sense. But if banks and stores online trust this tech it seems a good solution for musicians. Until quantum computing breaks everything that is.
@@timsummers9634blockchain should be able to do what you suggest.
One of the many problems with AI faces in the demonstrations shared here, is the empty gaze as in the first one. I suspect AI will eventually be able to detect itself in the future through facial recognition and movement tracking.
This is just the beginning. It only gets worse from here.

It is exactly a Brave New World. Aldous Huxley's book "Brave New World" was about a dystopian society that was not at all good; the title was ironic. (Google's "AI Overview" supplies this info as well: The title comes from a line in The Tempest by William Shakespeare, where Miranda says, "O brave new world, that has such people in 't". However, Shakespeare intended this line to be ironic because Miranda is too innocent to recognize the evil nature of the island's visitors.)

As a musician myself who writes, records, mixes, masters my ‘own’ music and then creates music videos for my songs, AI is extremely disturbing. In fact, the whole digital distribution on my content has made me stop and re-think how I am distributing my work to the world.
As long as content creators give up their creations to music and video distribution to huge corporations via the likes of Spotify, Apple, Amazon, Google…etc all for the fame game, real music, and soon to follow real film, will be a thing of the past.
There should be so many lawsuits out there because of AI and the fraud of people using it to literally steal other peoples work and call it their own.
I can’t wait til people would rather go and see an AI band play live than real musicians!

So is the AI.
if someone posts enhanced photos, videos, or augmented media using editing tools or AI, they must provide a disclaimer.
Otherwise, their posts should be deleted and given a warning for the first mistake. After 3 posts, then they need to be removed.
Now comes the challenges:
1. Do we have the tools to detect fakes/enhancements?
2. Do we have the ability to validate the identity of the individual?
3. Is there any media company willing to enforce 1&2 while forgoing views and potential revenues?
The reason people post is to get people to view and pick up likes, which earns them advertising money. Advertisers have built empires for companies by posting enhanced portrayals of their products and services from the beginning. Every company enhances its message to get customers. At the end of the day, we are witnessing the abandonment of health, happiness, reality, and truth in the pursuit of money.
Actually, I do cook real food and play my guitars. My cat checks me in case I lose my sense of humanity.
I know what I'm going to do... I'm going to go to more live concerts of little known artists and support them that way. Real live artists, playing real live music in the moment. It's the only way we'll know it's real anymore.
Thanks, Fil... Glad you're on this!

And Orwell is scowling "Told you so!"
This is such a good Fil video, and I was so enthralled that I watched it again all the way through. I do that alot with WOP videos, like having seconds of a tasty Thanksgiving meal. In a world where too many people already lie and deceive with wild abandon, this is disgusting as well as scary. My eternal thanks for being on top of it, Fil. The Stallone face was a great touch.
Fil, quite frankly, AI is terrifying! I honestly don't know why it is necessary! This analysis video exposes how it is being used in music. What a sadness! I am so happy your Stallone face is gone! 😅😂 Well done, Fil very informative video! 💜💜
I'm afraid this video doesn't show the serious side of the impacts of AI on the artistic process of creating music. What Fil exposed here is a mere distraction.
AI is dangerous and needs to go away. Sorry...not sorry.
AI is here to stay. Too powerful to go away.
@geirmyrvagnes8718 Ai channels are already out doing me and i was already a starving musician 😳
@@jesusislukeskywalker4294 And AI will only get better and more convincing from this point.
Back in the sixties, if you were hard-working enough to build your own equipment and put on your own rock band shows, the local music agent would first try to steal your band members, and if that failed he would get his own thugs to tear down every public advertisement you had put up, in order to drive you out of business. In other words, gangsterism.
Plus ca change, plus c'est le meme chose, some Frenchman said (with a cedilla and circumflex). Nothing has changed, except the tech . . .
I love your work. Cheers. 😎
I don't even like where the Randy Travis song is going. this is scary stuff. To much fakery and soon we will not be able to detect it from being real.
I agree. It’s sad that he can’t sing the way he wants to, but we all age, and change, and lose abilities we had in our youth. Chasing eternal youth is not going to lead to personal happiness.
Age of grifting
One problem I can foresee with AI is in the field of law and justice. Picture this. A man is being tried for a bank robbery in which a bystander is shot dead. Someone who has a grudge against the defendant, creates a video, using AI, where the defendant's likeness is inserted, and is shown robbing the bank and shooting the bystander. They present it as having come from a surveillance camera. AI has gotten so advanced that it is extremely difficult to determine whether or not the video is authentic! This defendant could plausibly be convicted of a crime he has no knowledge about or connection with! This is just one example where AI is maliciously used against someone, I'm sure there are many others, limited only by one's imagination and creativity.
Oh, jeez......you're onto something here. It won't happen soon, but I'm sure there are those working on it. Those people in prison have computers and plenty of time on their hands, after all.
Just make an AI alibi video and you're good.
When you see some of the artists impressions of a criminal on some of the old crime stopper shows and realise a conviction was made I'm going out on a limb here and saying the basic cartoon AI app would be ample for framing someone.
Write the story immediately.
Video and pictures are already not a judicial proof in front of any court in the USA...don't know in the UK...
Soon will be harder and harder for witnesses to prove their said as any document pr source can be so easily falsified....politicians we love this and spread thousand of fake news manipulating people in their favor...futur is already doomed
12:00 "Intellectual Property" I believe is the word you're searching for, Fil. Excellent video.
Question: Can't you put a copyright claim on the video?
You could think somebody's working on making us believe that we are the fake 🙃
Thanks a lot for spotting this 😊 UA-cam should find a way to spot this as well.
We must demand automatic AI video content recognition and removal, this is going extremely wrong!
They will need to use AI to detect AI. YIKES!!!
That would exclude this video.
Good lord...that AI was creepy!! 🤣
Art is threatened by the greed of people with no ability. Also I want one of those horns statues. It's lovely.
Art has killed itself. Banana-taped-to-wall-style. A long time ago. Once you see that most art, especially new and expensive art is low-effort BS, and you have a new tool that can generate BS at no effort, you cash in.
@geirmyrvagnes8718 I'm not talking about that rich idiot crap. Songwriting. Novels. Stuff like that.
@@usmcchrisg The poor idiot crap isn't much better, unfortunately. Just imagine a song or novel of average artistic quality for 2024.
There is a dangerous line people have crossed. “Well, I have to use AI to keep up with the release schedules of others using AI.” All AI is trained on existing content. When music is involved you’re stealing that musician’s performance. There is a possibility AI will begin to alter performances just enough to fool audiences, or worse, juries.
@TacticsTechniquesandProcedures I can easily recognize it as trash. I blame the MBAs. They do nothing but reap the benefits of other people's talent. Elon is a perfect example. He can't even tell you how a battery works. Atlas Shrugged is the stupidest book ever written by a human.
When you pointed out the hand i was actually wondering about the Van Halen poster in the background on the wall, it was just too perfect.
I have reported loads of channels that are mimicking real artists channels, then uploading fake AI music videos with official on the thumbnails, so far UA-cam have done nothing.
Oh no! Don’t stop, keep fighting! It will become more reported as Fil makes us aware of it.
Hi Fil I appreciate your commentary videos As someone has commented below, the Meta issue of this sort of video is the objectifying “hot chicks” bodies The millions of viewers are not very interested in the music allegedly being played Niw that everyone is able to view what they want to see anytime I don’t see any change being likely The video is not “pornography “ but it is being watched for minor titillation
When you changed your face that tripped me out
Read books, watch movies, go out and do sports, learn to cook, go to the beach, learn to play music, meet with friends and have a beer….
Plenty of much more useful things to do than watch UA-cam and worry about fake girls playing guitar. It’s insignificant and who should care ?
Phil, if you look at the paused acoustic guitar on the final performance the top e & b strings appear to disappear after the 12th fret.
Fil, I love the work you are doing and the videos. Keep it up. 👍 Question, If the original artist happens to spot this AI fraud who do they report it to?
6:46 The tattoo on that girls leg is slithering around lol. Anybody who thinks this is real is not very bright.
Yes! I love that live action tattoo!
Yes Steve Lukather has really changed a lot. I forgot about the tattoo.
Her name is Larissa Liveir, real girl, real tattoo but different face from AI video. 3.22 million subs on her youtube channel
Didn't notice at first. And when AI is really good, if you're not ready for it you can be fooled.
On another note, I've seen some cool sci-fi movies with animated tattoos so maybe that's not too far off either.
@@niveketihw1897 Luckily we can tell what's an AI as for now but we won't in the future as they get better if nothing's done against these scams.
I felt sorry for this girl when I saw this, I follow her on Instagram and recognised her because of that tattoo
6:49 her pinky dissolves into thin air. That's quite a trick!
We are being scammed without knowing we are being scammed. These people are making $$$ ad revenue.
Thanks Fil for educating us on the shenanigans going on in the music industry and UA-cam. I’m so glad I have a library of music in vinyl and CDs that predates this era to listen to. Rock on!
