As I glance at the stars above, it’s hard to shake the feeling that our universe is bending in unexpected ways—especially when it comes to the intersection of artificial intelligence and creativity. Is it just me, or does it seem like AI is on its way to taking over not only our jobs but also our cherished arts? With figures like the AI actor Tilly Norwood gaining popularity despite some pushback, it appears the realm of digital artistry is becoming a formidable player in the creative world. Ever heard of The Velvet Sundown? Yep, they’re another chart-topping band that turned out to be AI-generated, and honestly, some folks still haven’t noticed the neon-tinted warnings! And oh boy, if that doesn’t make you wonder what else might be lurking in the shadows of our technological advancement, I don’t know what will! Now, enter Eddie Dalton, the latest creation from Crusty Records, who claims to redefine the blues—yet, ironically, lacks the very soul that this genre demands. His catchy tune, “Another Day Old,” is climbing the charts, yet it raises a crucial question: how long until we find ourselves in a concert featuring nothing but digital entities? Buckle up, folks; it looks like the music industry is in for a cosmic shake-up! LEARN MORE.
It’s pretty much accepted that artificial intelligence is taking over the planet but it’s even managing to infiltrate the arts.
Despite the backlash to the AI actor Tilly Norwood, she’s still proving popular in some circles of the internet, and it seems as if we’re getting some computer-generated music as well now.
It was reported last year that a rock band who were topping the charts, known as The Velvet Sundown, were actually AI-generated, with some people somehow not figuring that out from the orange tint in all their images.
But then again, it is getting harder and harder to tell what’s real and what’s not, just ask the hundreds of thousands of people that follow the conjoined twin Instagram influencer who posts nothing but lewd photos.
Now, it appears as if Crusty Records, a label that is dedicated to releasing music that epitomises innovation and creativity through AI, has struck again with its creation of blues singer Eddie Dalton.
Despite blues singing requiring a lot of soul, it turns out that Dalton has no soul whatsoever, as it’s become clear that he is AI-generated despite his song ‘Another Day Old’ peaking at No. 2 and No. 3 on the official UK singles chart.
And as much as it pains me to say, the song sounds frustratingly realistic and catchy, so it’s easy to see why Dalton has over a million listeners on some of his songs on Spotify.
Crusty Records suggest that they ‘specialise in building distinctive artist brands’, and that their ‘catalogue showcases the future of sound’, but musicians everywhere will hate the fact that their hard work could be outshone by an AI creation.

Perhaps it might soon be time to add musicians to the long list of jobs which could be replaced by the super-intelligent technology, although it’s hard to see many people paying their hard-earned money for an AI concert, as Dalton is unlikely to have any real stage presence.
It also seems likely that the millions of listener numbers on Dalton’s songs may also be bots, since I imagine that like me, you had never heard of him before today, but those numbers provide easy money for the record label until streaming sites can clamp down on AI performers.

Spotify said on its website: “As streaming payouts have grown to billions of dollars per year, bad actors have started trying to manipulate streams for their own financial gain, or to scam artists by promising increased stream counts in exchange for money.”
The Musicians’ Union is also campaigning to defend real artists’ copyright against being used by AI models without their consent, as many AI creations are actually based on something that already exists, due to their inability to have original thoughts.
Their website said: “Tech firms should not be able to use your music to train their artificial intelligence (AI) models without your consent.
“Big tech companies want to use songs, recordings and other creative works to train their AI models for commercial purposes without asking or paying the original creators or rights holders.
“The MU is fighting for consent, credit and fair compensation for all creators for the use of their work to train AI models.”
