2. This is AI. Please delete it and see the OP on AI that I pinned to the top of the board:

The images and video used look like AI, which makes it very likely AI was also used for the lyrics and music. In fact, what is currently the first thread under the comments in that video refers to it being AI.

You're being manipulated by this video! It's not being sung by a human - it's AI. Wake up!

@jamitownsend9125 I know it’s AI but it generates important discussion. You can wake up yourself


I'm always in favor of generating important discussion, but non-musicians have lots of platforms for that and DON'T need to use AI tools trained illegally on work stolen from real musicians and visual artists.

I'm sorry you were fooled by this, NowsTheTime. That YouTuber is dishonest, posting AI-generated stuff without labeling it synthetic content. There are so damn many YT channels with AI-generated fake music now, including, unfortunately, a lot of fake protest music, some of it likely from content farms in other countries.

I've very much appreciated the real music you've posted here. Love Jesse Welles...
