🔥 What’s Hot in AI News:
Seemingly AI band The Velvet Sundown tops 400K monthly Spotify listeners
A new band called Velvet Sundown has quickly gained over 400,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, even though they only appeared less than a month ago. They have two albums out and describe themselves as a dreamy, cinematic alt-pop group. But many people online think the band might be AI-generated, especially after noticing their photos look artificial and that there’s almost no real information about them. Their quote from Billboard also seems fake. While Spotify doesn’t ban AI-made music or require labels for it, this case has sparked new questions about what’s real and what’s not in the music world.
Meta AI Wants to Access Your Camera Roll, Analyze Pics You Haven't Uploaded
Facebook is testing a new feature that asks users to allow access to their phone’s camera roll so it can create AI-generated content like collages, recaps, and themed stories for events like birthdays or graduations. If users agree by clicking “Allow,” Facebook will regularly upload photos from their device to Meta’s servers, even if those photos haven’t been posted. Meta says the photos won’t be used for ad targeting or to train AI models, but it can still analyze details like faces, locations, and content inside the images. This feature is currently being tested in the US and Canada and has already raised concerns on social media. If you change your mind after opting in, you can go to Facebook’s settings to turn off the camera roll sharing and AI content suggestions. The update seems to be part of Facebook’s effort to bring back younger users, as the platform has seen a major drop in teen engagement in recent years.
MrBeast Removes AI Thumbnail Tool After Backlash
MrBeast, the world’s most-subscribed YouTuber, has removed an AI-powered thumbnail generator from his platform ViewStats after facing strong backlash from creators and fans. The tool, which cost $80 per month, was meant to help users create thumbnails quickly, but many felt it was stealing jobs from real artists. MrBeast admitted he "missed the mark" and said he thought the tool would be helpful, but he understood the criticism after seeing the community’s response. In a post on X, he announced the tool has been taken down and replaced with a section where creators can find and hire real thumbnail artists. He added that his goal has always been to support the YouTube community, and he takes that responsibility seriously.
Microsoft tells employees using AI is no longer optional
Microsoft is pushing its employees to use its AI tools—like Copilot—and plans to include AI usage as a factor in performance reviews. An internal email from a top executive explained that using AI is now as important as skills like teamwork or communication. This decision comes after low internal adoption of Microsoft’s AI services, despite heavy promotion, and growing competition from tools like Cursor. Managers are being asked to track how employees use AI, especially in teams working on AI products. At the same time, Microsoft is going through major job cuts, particularly in its gaming division. After already laying off over 6,300 people this year, more layoffs—especially in the Xbox unit—are expected in July as the company works to streamline its operations after acquiring Activision Blizzard.
