Someone used Suno AI to generate a Japanese metal band called Neon Oni. Fake member bios, AI-generated music videos, "Based in Tokyo" on Spotify. 80,000+ monthly listeners. Fans had it in their Spotify Wrapped top 5. Merch was selling. Then, community sleuths exposed it. Traced the creator's account to Europe. Spotted AI-generated hands in the music videos. The creator's response? Recruit 7 real musicians from actual Tokyo bands to perform the AI-generated songs live. They've now played several live shows and have more on the books. From an interview with the band's creator: "In an age where AI is taking everyone's jobs, this has actually created jobs. It's done the complete opposite." The AI --> real band transformation is a wild one.
