Eleanor "Nora Jackson- A really great tune, with others on YouTube. No info anywhere about her. Is this AI? Who is she?

[NBachers]

I really like this tune, and she has other good stuff posted on YouTube, but she's a mystery artist. I can't find any other info about her except for the YouTube songs. One of her YouTube postings features a picture of Etta James. It makes me suspicious that she's an AI configuration.

Who can give me a "Yes" or a "No" on this? I'm also cross-posting in the "Musicians" forum.

1. I like it! Reminiscent of these two greats.

6. It's AI slop. See the replies below.

[Norrrm]

7. I'm not an expert. I just like it. I agree it should be labelled.

[highplainsdem]

8. It isn't real art. It's very damaging to real artists and doesn't belong in a forum about

Music Appreciation. The odds are every single artist whose music has been posted here had their music stolen by AI companies.

Those behind the intellectual property theft to train the AI deserve the longest prison sentences the law permits, and their companies should be sued out of existence.

And the no-talent wannabes using AI to pretend they can create music, visual art and creative writing are frauds who should be labeled as such and deserve no respect and attention.

YouTube is drowning in AI slop.

2. The descriptions provided by Crossroads Music and the nearly identical visuals

for all the videos on their channel are very, very similar to other YouTube channels that do admit to being AI.

3. AI for sure

[highplainsdem]

5. And it's fraud, since it isn't labeled as AI.

4. This is AI slop from an AI channel that's posted 187 songs in a little over 3 months. All fake, insulting real blues

by calling this AI slop "authentic blues" in the video description.

The AI user should be reported to YouTube for not labeling synthetic content.

That non-artist non-label calling itself @ Crossroads Records Global (I inserted spaces there) is even using what look like AI prompts for the video description.

Smooth, powerful female vocals with warmth and gospel soul
Crying harmonica solo that speaks directly to your heart
Weeping electric guitar with emotional bends and sustain
Deep rolling piano with gospel-influenced runs
Steady walking bass and dynamic drums (brushes to sticks)
45-second instrumental break that will give you chills

Give me chills? No. It makes me feel sick to my stomach to see this kind of AI fakery anywhere, trying to trick people into thinking it's real, while using tools trained on all the copyrighted music the AI company could steal. Those behind the IP theft should go to prison. And the frauds using AI to pretend it's something real deserve some sort of punishment as well.

Please delete that slop. I'd recommend the same for the thread you posted in Musicians.

9. Thanks for exposing it as AI. You can be as hard as you want on the AI purveyors. I'm not one. I'm the one who asked

the question so I could know for sure and relay the information to the person who recommended the song to me.

Condemn the AI thieves. Don't condemn me.

[highplainsdem]

10. I'm not condemning you, and I'm sorry if it seemed that way. I'm sorry you were taken in by AI fraud. It's

all over the internet, and it's unfair to everyone who doesn't want this slop.

I'm condemning the robber-baron AI bros and companies, the AI proponents pushing everyone to use this harmful tech, and AI users who - though not responsible for the initial theft of artists' work - are committing fraud when they don't label AI results, and who are worsening the harm done to creatives whose work was stolen.

It would be so nice not to see more AI harm and fraud every day. All of us know how exhausting it is to hear, day after day, about the harm the Trump regime is doing. The AI peddlers aren't much (if any) better.

Again, I'm sorry. I appreciate your having asked if this was AI.

I've posted elsewhere about various clues that videos are AI generated, mentioning those clues in replies to specific videos that have fooled other DUers. I probably should put together something to pin to the top of the board, especially now that obvious flaws are less common.
