Sienna Rose, a singer with millions of streams on Spotify, is suspected of being an AI-generated artist. Her songs, described as jazz-infused soul, have gained popularity quickly, with tracks appearing in Spotify's Viral Top 50. Streaming service Deezer has flagged many of her songs as computer-generated, citing inconsistencies and errors. Rose lacks a social media presence, has never performed live, and released an unusually high volume of music in a short period between September and December 2023. Listeners have also noted audio artifacts common in AI-generated music, such as a consistent hiss. These factors suggest that Sienna Rose may not be a real person, but rather a product of AI music generation software.
