Issue #9 of the

Newsletter
AI snapshot is the Monday issue of the Infinite Waves newsletter. A curation of AI news, developments, and points of interest from the previous week.
Boasting millions of followers across various social platforms. Meet FN Meka, the ‘first’ AI rapper, although I have heard plenty of robotic rappers. 🤖
I think this guy is going it make it pretty big.
When Grammy? 🏆
He’s just dropped his latest track:
Speed Demon
I particularly enjoy the lyrical mastery on display in Speed Demon:
“Speeding, speeding, speeding… speeding, speeding…”
The thing is it’s actually not even that bad. It’s not the worst thing you could listen to on Spotify.
But, isn’t art supposed to be human’s sacred little space? That’s ours, isn’t it? That’s our thing.
This is just for fun obviously and FN Meka of course has nothing on Biggie. Maybe the tech behind it isn’t even AI. But I do think it’s a sign of things to come. AI generated art and entertainment, and I should think at a certain point it’ll be hard to tell the difference between what’s human created and what’s machine created (if we’re not already there).
I’m just looking forward to FN Meka’s inevitable beef and subsequent disstrack against Eminem (AIminem?)
