AI Imitation of King Gizzard Found on Spotify

Spotify struggled to manage the rise of AI-generated audio, as evidenced by a recent incident involving a fake band named King Lizard Wizard, which mimicked the music of the Australian rock group King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. Despite the band’s vocal criticism of Spotify and a prior withdrawal from the platform, the imitation album went unnoticed for weeks until a Reddit user highlighted it. Although Spotify implemented a spam filter and policies to combat AI impersonations, this case raises concerns about their effectiveness. The discovery underscores ongoing challenges in regulating AI-generated content on streaming platforms.
