It’s happened: An AI radio station with AI DJs playing AI music

Skynet has its first radio station. “W AI-1Music Radio is the world’s first all‑AI Top 40 station, broadcasting every genre on one dial — just like the fearless radio giants of the 1960s.” Oh, dear.

I quote from the press release:

W AI‑1 Music Radio features:

  • A weekly AI Top 40 countdown.
  • Breakout tracks from emerging AI artists across all genres.
  • Spotlight features on virtual performers like Kylie Willow, Led Balloon, and Chase Vance.
  • Retro‑futuristic imaging and station branding inspired by classic Top 40 radio.
  • A format that blends nostalgia with next‑generation creativity.

Who asked for this? Bender? HAL 9000? Marvin the Paranoid Android? A random T-1000?

Kill it. Kill it with fire.
