Musician Charged With Music Streaming Fraud Aided By AI and bots

Where can you find songs with names like: "Zygophyceae," "Zygopterous," "Zygotic Washstands," "Zyme Bedewing," "Zymoplastic," and "Zyzomys," written by the artists you love, like: "Calliope Erratum," "Calm Baseball," "Calm Knuckles," "Calms Scorching," "Calorie Event," "Calorie Screams," "Calvinistic Dust," "Camaxtli Minerva," and "Camel Edible."

What a great idea! If you don't have talent in music, just get AI to generate songs, and computer bots to "listen" to the songs billions of times, and you can make millions in royalties! The only downside, and it's just a small one, is that after several years the FBI slams you with multiple counts of fraud and a lifetime in jail. 

"Some music distributors and streaming platforms caught wind of Smith's activities a year or two after he started [and] removed Smith's music from its stores... A source close to Spotify confirmed it was the streaming platform that detected the fraud in 2019."
