This Artist Makes Terrible "Anti-Bangers" to Sabotage AI Music Training Models

A musician's tongue-in-cheek war against AI music platforms has birthed a track so magnificently awful that it makes Rebecca Black's "Friday" sound like Beethoven.

Tucson-based musician MattstaGraham has launched a new social media series he's calling "Uploading Crappy Music Everywhere to Confuse Gen AI." His terrible tracks, which he's dubbed "anti-bangers," amount to perhaps the most spitefully clever approach yet to the scourge of AI music creation platforms.

The music is designed to contaminate the training datasets that power controversial services like Suno, with the hope of degrading their output quality and making them less appealing to users seeking to bypass traditional music production skills.

The series' first song, the gloriously titled "Piss Champ," is a nails-on-chalkboard grenade lobbed straight at those companies. "I can drink like 50 gallons of piss, no one can drink more piss than me," MattstaGraham rambles over what sounds like a piano in a washing machine.

Calling the musician's hilarious campaign a long shot is an understatement, but it speaks volumes about growing tensions within the community over AI's role in the music production process. Many believe platforms like Suno and Udio—which are currently embroiled in an explosive copyright infringement lawsuit filed by major labels—undermine the artistic integrity that comes from struggle, experimentation and human expression.
