The case of 'Jaime Brooks' perfectly illustrates how these scams will manifest in the world of music. By generating audio that is harmonically similar to classical music, 'Jaime' was able to trick Spotify into recommending it to classical listeners. By deploying familiar sounds in a randomized, nonsensical fashion, the resulting compositions were able to bypass copyright filters designed to block infringement of existing works. By targeting a style of music that often appears in sleep-oriented playlists, 'Jaime' gained access to the least discerning users on the entire platform. [...] This is how generators are going to change the internet in the coming years: by infesting the darkest, most neglected corners of our collective online experience with the digital equivalent of roaches, bed bugs, fruit flies, and mold.
