Okay, I don't know what's going on. It's weird, but also good. But definitely weird.

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a music video in my YouTube recommendations. It was by a band called Last Ashes. It was clearly an AI video, but I really liked the song a lot. I listened to some more songs and I liked almost all of them. The more I listened, I became convinced that this was AI music. The 'band' is based in Indonesia, which I found interesting because I don't think I've ever heard any music from Indonesian artists before. Even though it's AI, I really like it -- the lyrics are a little cliche, but I love the passion in the vocals (something missing from AI music I've heard previously).

I tried to research this band online, but I couldn't find anything that seems legit outside of YouTube.

Today I noticed a music video in my YouTube recommendations. It's by a band called Bent Ardi. It's clearly an AI video, but I like the song a lot... and the more I listened, I became convinced that this is AI music... again. And I checked, and this band is based in... Indonesia. Again.

I tried to research this band online... and this time they actually have a website, where the 'about the band' section is a picture of one guy, so they seem to be sort of admitting that it's AI music. And they've been on YouTube for a long time, but have only been posting music for about a year.

So my questions for all of you are as follows:

1) These are both AI bands, right?
2) Are you getting any Indonesian AI music in your YT recommendations?
3) Why do I like Indonesian AI music so much?
4) Why doesn't anyone else in the comments of these videos mention that it's AI music?
5) Are any of the comments on any of these videos from humans?
6) Is anything real? Or is this a simulation?

Are you getting any Indonesian AI music in your YouTube recommendations?

Yes!
Uh... no, and I'm now going to back away slowly in case you somehow infect my YouTube with your craziness
Indonesian potato

Okay so I've discovered two other AI bands that are not based in Indonesia, which makes me think that maybe reality does exist.

Man, when did AI music get so good?

I think AI music can co-exist with 'real' music, but in my opinion the AI music really needs to be identified up front, to avoid confusion.

6) Oh, shit, he is onto us, folks! Time to restart the simulation!

No Indonesian bands in my YT... but, again, I barely look at YT recommendations.
