Despite many people professing to hate the fakeness of AI “artists,” these things are making a lot of money for their creators. Players Time looked at the AI music boom. The numbers are higher than I expected.

Every hear of Mikeeysmind? Let Babylon Burn? Bleeding Verse? Me, neither, but someone has. Or maybe it’s just bots listening to bots. Why would 6.5 million people listen to a single non-human music thing?

Check out this Spotify chart, too. Most of the money is being made there.
