Peter Jackson “said that he doesn’t “dislike” AI being used in film production. This isn’t exactly surprising; he’s used the technology before in his Beatles documentary “The Beatles: Get Back,” which helped him sharpen footage and enhance audio from the original filming sessions. He joked that he thinks that AI is “going to destroy the world,” but when it comes to using it himself in films “I don’t dislike it at all.”
Jackson continued: “To me, it’s a special effect. It’s no different from other special effects.”

"Chaotic Good operates networks of social media accounts, seeds content into algorithmic recommendation flows, and — in the parlance of their own co-founder — engages in “trend simulation.” The goal is to push artist content high enough in the algorithmic rankings that real humans discover it.

"It’s an open secret in the music industry that all the numbers—play counts, followers, stats—are fake or at least obfuscated. Last year, a California-based rapper sued Spotify, alleging he and other musicians were losing money because of artificially inflated streams. The complaint cited Drake (who was not a defendant), claiming that his Spotify streams were “inauthentic and appeared to be the work of a sprawling network of bot accounts." Bots and “streaming farms” have become a marketing expense."
