email from some dot-com #Viberate with a #scammy tracker link to "the page created for you!" — the text over the link spelled a url, copy/paste to firefox, and there it is, a really vague summary description of us on a public page, with a blurry banner that could be us who knows, and a feature photo of different band! (albeit closely related)

Email explains "a fan" submitted our details, I'm guessing the 'fan' was AI, as was the researcher; they want $2/mo, no mention how much to take it down.

Desinforming AI-generated artist pages, wearing a face of "data research", arrived in music industry and are harming artist's informational rights, even my own. Here's an example of an obviously chatGPT-generated text about one of my music projects - #^https://www.viberate.com/artist/air-cushion-finish/ - they also use an image edit i made only for FB soem years ago.
@Air Cushion Finish for reference.

"Viberate(.com) is a blockchain-based research and analytics platform and cryptocurrency for the music industry. " (Goo-gle)

The site, run by a Slovenian startup, has no about page nor imprint, and only minor contact options. They are actually looking for customers, who'd pay for music industry data, but getting nothing - in our case - but an AI-generated page with next to no usable info, basically empty data packed in auto-generated sentences. Who's going to pay for BS like this?
And shouldn't we make Viberate pay for their scam?

Biz seems to run well, if the numbers aren't as fake as the rest
"Viberate is a music data company headquartered in Slovenia.
It was founded in 2015 by Vasja Veber, Matej Gregorčič and Slovenian techno DJ UMEK (Uroš Umek). The company counts 35 full-time employees, plus around 120 external database curators." (Goo-gel again)

120 different #AI? Oh my.

If somebody has a clue how to fight this, please comment or DM. I'd love to deliciously sue them ;)
