King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard quit Spotify in protest, only for an AI doppelgänger to step in

Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationArticle

Abstract

Imagine this: a band removes its entire music catalogue off Spotify in protest, only to discover an AI-generated impersonator has replaced it. The impersonator offers songs that sound much like the band's originals.

The imposter tops Spotify search results for the band's music – attracting significant streams – and goes undetected for months.

As incredible as it sounds, this is what has happened to Australian prog-rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard
