#jacub

I’m so head over heels for him it’s crazy 😭 a man with humour and ambition? A SLIGHTLY DERANGED PRIEST? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

The song "You're Not Mine - Jag vet, du är inte min" topped Sweden's charts, and was subsequently banned for being AI. It currently sits at 9th place.

Team Jacub, which is connected to Stellar AI, was asked if Jacub was a real person. They responded that it depends, because: "Jacub is an artistic project developed and carried by a team of human songwriters, producers, and creators. The feelings, stories, and experiences in the music are real, because they come from real people."

I think this is a pretty good example of what Baudrillard talks about with simulacra.

Albu Lee Meldau, a real human singer was used in the prompts used to generate the song. There's some similarities in terms of the style of the AI-generated music, but it's not like the song itself is a cover or rendition of something that was created before. It's more accurate to describe it as simulacra: a copy of something which has no original.
