In a video uploaded on April 18, Fantano stitched the AI track’s creator with his thoughts surrounding the surge of deepfake songs and their ability to go crazy viral.

“This is not good. This is not good. I don’t know who this is not going to be good for entirely right this moment but I don’t think it’s going to be very good,” he said. “There’s a lot of people talking about ‘oh yeah, this is gonna like turn the industry upside down… the labels are in trouble now.

“For sure it’s got them sweating a little bit, if it didn’t then I don’t think they’d be going through the lengths that they are to have this song taken down. But, once they figure out the recipe with this thing… it’s going to be a payday for them.”

At the time of writing, the song ‘Heart On My Sleeve’ has been removed from all streaming services.

“There’s going to be so many new Juice Wrld songs, you’re not even going to know where they’re coming from,” he added.

We’ll have to wait to see how AI affects the music industry in the coming years, but Anthony Fantano has made his thoughts on it clear for now.
