The AI Revolution Is a Lie (And These Experts Prove It)

Hey everyone!

The “hottest” new “band” on Spotify just happens to be… not real?!

Meet The Velvet Sundown — a psychedelic rock group that blew up with 1.5M monthly listeners, vintage album art, and a killer vibe. There’s just one catch:

The music, the vocals, the photos — were 100% AI-generated.
And now the backlash has begun.

In this new video, I dive into the truth behind the AI music hype—and the 3 expert voices trying to warn us before it’s too late:

• 🧠 Gary Marcus — Cognitive scientist & AI critic sounding the alarm on deep learning’s limits

• 🧬 Yann LeCun — Meta’s own AI chief, who says today’s models are glorified pattern mimics

• 📚 Kate Crawford — Researcher & composer revealing the hidden labor and ethical cost of “artificial” intelligence

Together, their perspectives paint a startling picture:
The AI revolution isn’t what it seems — and music might be its first casualty.

🧠 Whether you’re a songwriter, a tech lover, or just someone who cares about real human creativity, this video is for you.

Inside the Episode:

• What makes The Velvet Sundown controversy different from other AI debates

• Why top AI insiders say today’s tech is far from "intelligent"

• How musicians are fighting back to protect originality and ownership

• What this all means for your art, your voice, and your future

👀 And I want to hear from you:
Should AI music be labeled? Is it creative expression—or corporate trickery?

Hit reply or drop a comment under the video. I’d love to feature your take in the next one.

Stay creative. Stay human.
