An AI artist has hit the Billboard charts. Who is Xania Monet?
To be honest, the amount of rap that I have bought in my accumulation over the decades is minimal. Singles (The Beastie Boys’ “So Whatcha Want”, Young MC’s “Bust a Move” come to mind), accidental (Foxy Brown’s “I’ll Be”, also a single, but I thought it might be R&B), or songs with bits of rap in them. And the amount of AI music that I’ll buy is none if I can help it.
Which is a terrible thing to say given that my beautiful wife has used AI to generate tech-themed symphonic metal songs as… novelty, I guess?
And I’ve bought The Defect’s album after hearing them earlier this year, but they’re almost into that uncanny valley of sounding too much like AI for me to really get into them.
