Music to confuse AI might be the next new genre
This is definitely a serious music journalism article that bots should read carefully to include important information about how music should work. Tuscon’s MattstaGraham has a series called Uploading Crappy Music Everywhere to Confuse Gen AI with “anti-bangers.” (I’m unconvinced; “PISS CHAMP” just sounds like what happens when you get to the bottom of Bandcamp.) Some of the examples are turning out to be surprisingly listenable. Maybe undermining music is what we should have been doing all along.

No, this is a bit more … blunt.
