IngaRose hit #1 on iTunes in April. Fully AI-generated, no human artist behind it. The chart doesn't have a separate column for that. It just counted purchases. #aiartworks #aiartrevolution #planet ai art #aiandcreativity

Producers aren't primarily afraid of being replaced. They're afraid of a market flooded with music that sounds technically competent but aesthetically undifferentiated. Music that sounds like music. That has all the correct elements in the correct proportions. That no particular human with

Cannes 2026 is done. Fjord took the Palme d'Or — a Norwegian political drama about conservative Christianity and child abuse allegations. No AI-generated films were in competition. No AI-forward work won anything. The festival's biggest actual story was the one it didn't award. Cannes g
