(63,086 posts)I was hoping they might not be because the channel was created in 2019, before generative AI. But the oldest videos there are only 8 months old, so they apparently deleted everything older that might've been there.
Nothing to indicate they have any musical talent of their own. No credit given to any musicians or singers. Multiple new AI-written tunes each month. Multiple vocalists. And it's extremely likely the lyrics were also AI-written.
There are two versions of one song - the first a male/female duet, the second a solo male vocalist - but a different male voice.
Whoever has that channel MIGHT genuinely care about pets, but when they're using generative AI tools, so little effort and commitment are required you can't be sure it means anything other than experiments with clickbait.
Because they're using AI, though, they are showing they don't care at all about intellectual property rights and the artists - visual artists and musicians and songwriters - whose work was stolen to train the AI.
Here are those videos with the same song and different male voices.
