Rumors about Neil Finn facing erectile dysfunction are baseless, Crowded House asserts, disputing a fabricated AI-generated Facebook post.
In the rapidly evolving world of music and technology, the rise of AI-generated fake music and misleading content has become a significant concern for streaming platforms and musicians alike. However, recent developments have not shown any verified instances of this phenomenon directly targeting popular artists such as Crowded House, Neil Finn, Tom Jones, Adele, Celine Dion, Ed Sheeran, or Adam Lambert.
The case of the AI-created fictitious band Velvet Sundown serves as a prominent example. The band released multiple albums on Spotify, which collectively garnered over a million listeners before revealing the AI origin, sparking a debate on authorship and authenticity in music.
Spotify has faced criticism for hosting AI-generated tracks that impersonate deceased artists, such as Blaze Foley and Guy Clark, misleading listeners and causing backlash from estates and fellow musicians. These fraudulent tracks were eventually removed after complaints.
Similar issues involve fake tracks uploaded under official artist pages of living musicians, like the band Toto, whose member publicly condemned an AI-generated song that appeared on their Spotify account without their authorization.
The surge in AI-generated music poses challenges for streaming platforms in identifying and removing deceptive content promptly, with music distributors also sharing responsibility for the problem.
Recently, a fake, AI-generated news broadcast circulated on social media, claiming that Neil Finn of Crowded House had fathered a child at the age of 67. The broadcast, fronted by TVNZ journalist Simon Dallow, detailed Neil Finn's supposed condition and the steps taken to resolve it. However, the denial was made by Crowded House, stating that Neil Finn has never had trouble with erections.
The fake news broadcast was determined to be fake and not based on factual information. It also featured further fake footage of an AI-generated speech by Lance O'Sullivan. The fake Neil Finn in the broadcast stated that he was too embarrassed to even talk to his wife about his condition.
In addition, there have been increasing numbers of social media posts purporting to show well-known musicians in unlikely scenarios, including AI-generated images of Tom Jones, Adele, Celine Dion, Ed Sheeran, and Adam Lambert "singing" at Ozzy Osbourne's funeral.
Despite these incidents, Neil Finn, in reality, has not publicly discussed any personal health issues or fathering a child at the age of 67. He has not spoken about any such issues in interviews or public statements.
Therefore, while AI-generated fake news and music misattribution are indeed increasing concerns in the music industry, evidence of this phenomenon specifically targeting the named artists in your query has not surfaced in the latest reports. The trend mainly involves unknown or fictitious acts and some high-profile impersonations, primarily resulting in significant industry and public scrutiny.
