Creator of "Indie Band" Who Insisted It Wasn't AI-Generated Just Admitted the Truth

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-12 00:54:14

A "band" that sparked a heated debate for heavily relying on generative AI — and still somehow accumulating over half a million listeners on Spotify — has finally admitted the truth. Earlier this week, a self-proclaimed "indie rock band" called The Velvet Sundown claimed on its "official" X account that it "never" used any AI, accusing "so-called 'journalists'" of "pushing the lazy, baseless theory that The Velvet Sundown is 'AI-generated' with zero evidence." It was a preposterous claim that

The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 (or Elite 2 for short) has arguably been the industry gold standard for a pro-level game controller for the past decade.

Google recently released Android 16, which brings a smattering of new features for Pixel phones, with promises of additional updates down the road.
