The first half of this episode is me explaining what happened, why I ended up going dark for so long. I also talk a bit about the AI watchdog and how I found ten of my songs in the published datasets used to train Suno and Udio… the AI music saga continues…</p><p>Then in the second half I pick up where I left off with the 11 part series I was in the middle of posting before I paused, returning with Part 7 of #AIWTF which is an episode I recorded back in April.</p><p><br></p><p>Part 7 here looks at the extent to which AI music has been entering the charts, what that says about the collapse of chart integrity, and what happens when music becomes less about human choice and preference, and more about automated algorithmic success.</p><p>We then move from there onto a wider reflection on social fragmentation, the erosion of shared culture, and the need for a lot more real spaces where people can gather, play, experiment, and feel connected again through their art.</p><p><br></p><p>If you enjoyed this podcast please share it with a friend or consider leaving a comment or review, it really helps me out.

Don't feed the machines.</p>","author_name":"Laura Sheeran"}
