A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

According to another article , the only requirement to reaching that position is selling 3,000 copies. It was basically a PR stunt and it worked, since headlines are gobbling it up and spreading the "artist"'s name all over the place.
Thank you! I made a similar comment elsewhere. This was a chart for sales, and because generative AI can't even be copyrighted there is no reason to purchase it. This has publicity stunt written all over it.
