About this listen

Today we explore the blurred lines between human and artificial creativity as AI reshapes music and academia. A virtual band called The Velvet Sundown topped Spotify charts with AI-generated music, images, and backstory, sparking debates about authenticity in creative industries. Meanwhile, troubling reports reveal academics hiding AI prompts in research papers to manipulate peer reviews, with researchers from 14 institutions across 8 countries gaming the system. The academic publishing world faces additional challenges with information overload and quality control issues, including viral papers featuring impossible AI-generated imagery. These stories highlight the urgent need for transparency standards and ethical frameworks as AI becomes increasingly sophisticated at mimicking human output across creative and intellectual pursuits.
