Spotify is the same. This impersonation ought to be illegal.

  I'm pretty sure it is. Effective enforcement is a different matter.

  Do you have some impersonated artist names I would be able to look up? This isn't a thing I have (knowingly) run into on Spotify yet and I'm really curious to see more

    Yes (as in the band Yes) on Tidal at one point had a bunch of probably-AI-generated albums that Tidal shoved into Yes' discography because the “artist” included “Yes” in the name (with album titles like “Yes, it's raining” and other such nonsense). Thankfully it seems Tidal's cleaned those out.

    "Yes" and "BT". I've also some across some AI-generated slop under the name "Rush". There's someone releasing a new track almost every day as "BT" that is clearly not "BT". I didn't see the naming issue that the other reply had with "Yes", but I do frequently see their name pop up with slop.

  It is illegal. Anybody making money on that is using the artist's image without permission. Anybody who spent money on it has been defrauded.
