So how are his creations any more “fake” than 99% of the rap/pop/bro country shit that gets streamed today ?

Oh - music companies lost revenue - is that really a “crime”

Haha this guy is indeed a genius. He gamed the system.

No I don’t think he should get to keep the money here. No different than someone cheating a book - you cheat = you don’t get paid.

At the same time - how many people go to jail for cheating online sportsbooks ? How is this that different.

Jail is for those who commit crimes against individuals or society as a whole. Explain to me how any individual suffered here - he violated a service agreement - was caught and booted. End of story.

But is there already an existing law to convict this kind of activity/cheating through the use of AI?

That was unbelievable. Maybe if he wasn’t greedy he wouldn’t have got caught.
