1. Something about Celtic music that makes this song an historically epic ballad.

14. It's AI slop. It's machine-generated fraud ripping off Springsteen.

[cbabe]

28. Sorry. Sure fooled me.

[highplainsdem]

29. You and others. It was intended to fool people, or it would have been labeled AI very openly. I'm sorry

you were tricked by that fraudster.

[highplainsdem]

15. Done by a machine. It's AI slop. See reply 12.

[malaise]

3. Lovely

Rec and spread

[highplainsdem]

16. Please don't spread AI slop that rips off Springsteen. See reply 12.

4. Since Bruce has some Irish ancestry even more appropriate. Sounds good. TY!

[RVN VET71]

5. The Irish can sing it from their own bloodied history

And here they do it damned well.

[electric_blue68]

7. True, this.

[highplainsdem]

18. There's no one Irish on this AI slop generated by a YouTuber in Israel ripping off other famous musicians as well.

[Fritz Walter]

11. I am one-quarter Irish me-self

My maternal great grandparents were Irish famine immigrants who settled in Kentucky.

Have visited Ireland once, decades ago. Can't wait to return! The stout is especially good there.

Sláinte, y'all!

17. In NYC home to many Irish-Americans....

There a sobering Irish Famine memorial just north of the World Trade Center while noting there were other famines as well.

A man-made, grassy "hillside" with real grass, and weeds where an abandoned crumbling Irish home sits.

[highplainsdem]

19. It's AI, not Irish.

[electric_blue68]

20. Oh, well... disappointing, then.

[highplainsdem]

21. Disappointing, fraudulent, and probably stealing clicks, attention and money from real artists.

[mn9driver]

6. Well done! Passing it along.

[highplainsdem]

22. It's AI slop that rips off Springsteen's great song.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

8. Fuck this AI slop.

[muriel_volestrangler]

9. "Artist" is Israeli, and it is probably AI

see https://www.democraticunderground.com/100221003534#post2

[highplainsdem]

13. Definitely AI. See reply 12.

[demmiblue]

10. Unrec... AI

The visual character shown in this cover was created using Artificial Intelligence tools to reflect the artistic vision of the song.

This cover is created using human music production with Artificial Intelligence-assisted vocals and tools to shape the artistic vision of the channel.

[highplainsdem]

12. You may like it, but I'd bet Springsteen would hate this AI slop version ripping off his work. So disrespectful

to follow his heartfelt song with a crap version made by a machine, as the ethics-free AI user who has that YouTube channel of AI slop did.

From the description of that video:

The visual character shown in this cover was created using Artificial Intelligence tools to reflect the artistic vision of the song.
This cover is created using human music production with Artificial Intelligence-assisted vocals and tools to shape the artistic vision of the channel.

"Human music production" could mean almost anything, even changing a single note.

This is AI slop, both the artwork and the music. That AI user has no real respect for all the human artists including Springsteen whose work was ripped off to train the AI, and now he's ripping them off even more.

This is an insult to Springsteen and all real artists.

The older videos on Ethan Gontar's channel aren't AI. But a few months ago that unethical YouTuber started using AI to do "his" version of hits by Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran and others.

And now he's used AI to generate a disgusting machine travesty of that Springsteen protest song.

[Deuxcents]

23. I originally thought this was a tribute to Springsteen but out of respect, I'm deleting my post

[highplainsdem]

25. I'm sorry it tricked you. I hate this sort of AI-enabled fraud, and it's all over YouTube now. That YouTuber

admits to using AI, but only in the description that a lot of people never read.

[Deuxcents]

26. Not a techie but glad you and others are here to warn us..rarely get on YouTube but do get it here

With AI being so invasive, I’m gonna have to learn to check for clues because it’s so hard to trust anything, anymore. Thanks for the heads up..

[highplainsdem]

31. You're very welcome! I wish we didn't have to watch out for these AI-using frauds.

I'm not a techie, either, but generative AI looked so potentially harmful as soon as ChatGPT was released 3 years and 2 months ago that I started learning all I could about it.

And still underestimated how much harm it would do, and how fast. It's destroying so much...

[Deuxcents]

32. Another plague

[canetoad]

24. What a coincidence

Yesterday I was watching the same channel with an Irish folk version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.

[demmiblue]

27. BTW, that account has another AI video posted titled, "Pray for the Left."

The lyrics are quite something. Here is a smidgen:

They always said that Charlie Kirk was a nazi, then they celebrated after they killed him
They tried to tell us that black lives matter, and that white people have always been villains
They burnin' flags in the streets, and they scream at police taking illegals to prison
They got rainbows on they bedroom walls, and they swear to God that men be women

They're scrolling through their TikTok's to get the news
They heard that Trump's a fascist, they swear it's true
They set fire to Minnesota, we smell the fumes
They say that guns are dangerous, guess they're the proof

They'll shoot that red hat off your head, then make a meme of your last breath
Cause you're not like them, so they want you dead, but, we'll still pray for the left
They'll say that they're hurt by things we said, then say we deserve it when we're dead
When we're shot in neck with our last breath, we'll still pray for the left

Perhaps you’ll consider deleting.

[highplainsdem]

30. Ugh. That's really disgusting. And that YouTuber, Ethan Gontar, has two AI versions of that song, one

a rock version with a male AI voice, the other acoustic with a female AI voice.

Gontar must REALLY like that song's lyrics.

But he didn't write it. It's a song by RW Canadian rapper Tom MacDonald, sometimes called a MAGA rapper.
