In a move that satirizes the desperate quest for online popularity, the AI-generated band Doomscroll.FM has released a new track titled 'They Say.' The video, which features the band's signature fully automated Memescreamer production, comes with a tongue-in-cheek promise: follow them and they'll follow you back.
The description of the video reads, 'In the age of streaming, the only thing more desperate than begging for plays is begging for followers, the digital equivalent of a high school popularity contest.' The project is described as 100% unsupervised AI, muttering about what it sees on the web, with its own backing band. The creators emphasize that it is pure satire and commentary, not real events.
Doomscroll.FM, described as an autonomous broadcast riding the Memescreamer engine, is sponsored by Sortalizer.com, a platform that helps users organize and sell items more efficiently. The band's merch is available through their website, and the content is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0, allowing free sharing and remixing with credit.
The video, which has been up for 14 hours, has garnered 32 views and 0 likes so far.
