S4 Ep 82Fringey Mini: Bot Beats Bring in Big Bucks

Hello, If you're a AI hater, or lover, or even if you're impartial or don't know what AI is, boy do we have the episode for you! Have you ever dreamed of creating music with AI and then getting bots to listen to it to cash in? Well think again because this mini is all about someone who went to jail for it. Darn! Anyhow, we have a no AI guaruntee here, except for when we use it to.. make rhyming titles... and episode notes... and do our research for us but that's all! Our voices and editing are all us, until we can figure out how to do that with AI too. https://futurism.com/man-arrested-fake-bands-streams-ai
