IoMP 115: AI in Metal: Tool or Total Bullshit?

This week on the Influencers of Metal Podcast, things get… artificial. Collin and Tom dive headfirst into the chaos surrounding AI-generated bands, Spotify’s AI remix nonsense, and the growing flood of soulless algorithm sludge clogging up streaming platforms.From fake metal bands gaming Spotify’s algorithm to artists unknowingly having their music used as AI training data, the crew breaks down why so many musicians are furious—and why listeners might not even realize it’s happening yet.It’s a topical, slightly unhinged, occasionally hilarious discussion about creativity, consent, corporate nonsense, and whether AI belongs anywhere near music at all. Spoiler: the Metal Robot has thoughts.Check out more from Collin!https://indi1015.ca/shows/thrashers-paradise/https://www.youtube.com/@thrashersparadise4132https://www.instagram.com/thrashers_paradise/https://www.facebook.com/Thrashers.Paradise.666/Check out more from Tom!https://themetalrobot.com/https://www.youtube.com/@MetalRobotReviewshttps://www.facebook.com/theMetalRobothttps://x.com/theMetalRobothttps://www.instagram.com/the.metalrobot/-----------------------------DISCLAIMER: Copyright Exceptions under the Copyright Act (R.S.C., 1985, c.
