A fresh new rock band that quickly shot to Spotify’s top ranks announced that it’s actually wholly generated by artificial intelligence, just one month after its celebrated debut album earned it one million listeners. The ’60s-inspired rock-and-roll band, the Velvet Sundown, revealed on Saturday that nothing about it is real after fans of the up-and-coming artists noticed there were virtually no traces of any people associated with it online. Its debut album, “Floating on Echoes,” was released on June 5 to mass appeal online.
