The real person behind the character of Solomon Ray is Christopher “Topher” Townsend, a conservative hip-hop artist involved with Veterans for Trump, who performed at a rally that coincided with the January 6 storming of the Capitol in 2021. Following the event, Townsend’s song, “The Patriot,” was removed from Spotify, and Instagram banned him from going live on the platform.

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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Opening the article after reading this and being met with the AI black man waving at oak alley plantation....
Fuck that piece of shit.
Oh what a complete and total surprise, a white Trump supporter pretending to be a black guy again!
Like finding a three leaf clover!
He's not white
Lmao damn, well admittedly I just assumed given the name, the conservative, and Trump supporting. That’s just sad in a different way then.
Cursed moral compass, I could be scamming the religious fanatics too.
I'm thinking I'm just going to do it. So many others are and they don't even seem mad about it. I guess it's better than starting a gaming site which was going to be my "fuck this I just wanna live comfortably" move
Simpsons did it!
Actually has a chance of succeeding, religious people are the biggest suckers and the easiest to scam. Damn it.
Of course the people who blindly follow something with no proof are the same people who fall for AI music.
Ah, first modern country, now Christians.
The two shallowest genres you can find.
What a surprise!
As is tradition. None of the previous ones had souls either.
Not sure if edgy atheism or harsh critique of the capitalist commodification of religion/faith.

I'm sure some gospel singers were christian and had "soul" (the music/feeling).
A Christian Singer with no soul .... sounds about right
Man, anyone else remember Milli Vanilli?
American Christians are soulless demons anyway so it works out
Obviously, the most idiotic people will fall for and like it.
That tracks.
Why does he have Jon Jones' face?
Makes sense.
