AI rapper FN Meka dropped by Capitol over racial stereotyping
Its Instagram account, which has more than 220,000 followers, has been made private.
You can see a video compilation of the AI character here:FN Meka's songs are performed by an anonymous black man, according to Anthony Martini who is one of the cofounders of Factory New, a company responsible for the AI.
The compilation has a distinct flavour of the Meta promo video:
Anyway - I'm trying not to get lost in the fakery here - but could it be that this is a PR piece for Meta and/or the general idea of the metaverse? Its a racist stereotype, but is there such thing as bad publicity? And what we see here is that the notoriety is being publicised (I wouldn't have looked otherwise).
If not a PR piece for Meta its some other element of culture creation. The BBC are on board, music labels, etc.. yadda yadda
