Productive AIs like ChatGPT and Midjourney and voice and discourse cloning technologies like Uberduck have ushered in a new era on the internet. Now you can sing different songs with the voice of any famous artist, It was even possible to write a song from scratch.

We have seen examples of this technology most recently in ‘feat’ songs such as the cat song created with Eminem’s voice and fake Drake and The Weeknd. However, one person decided to take this one step further and start scamming. He got results from this decision as well…

Fake Frank Ocean made thousands of dollars with ‘leaks’:

A Discord user named “mourningassasin” started selling new Frank Ocean songs for money, which he claimed to have leaked. Watching the way for the new album since 2016 Frank Ocean fans also fell into the trap.

The truth was revealed by the moderator of the Discord server that this user shared. In a statement from the server, the moderator stated that all the songs sold were fake, and it was confirmed that the two songs titled “The Line” and “Steer It” were made with artificial intelligence.

However, this fact was learned after it was too late. Using the pronoun “we,” the user speaking to MotherboardWe managed to earn 9700 dollars” he declared.

The record company that Frank Ocean works with has not yet made a statement.

Of course, our scammers may have created the music infrastructure themselves from scratch.
