Tom Dunne: Xania Monet's chart entry is a scary moment in the march of AI 

The song sounds remarkably like Beyoncé, and the fact that Monet is an AI-creation should be an alarming moment for musicians and music-lovers alike

Xania Monet is an AI creation whose song, How Was I Supposed To Know, has entered music charts in the US. 

The Doomsday Clock has advanced another second towards midnight. If we are to believe all the warnings it must be about 4.15am by this stage. But it wasn’t a scurrilous world leader or overly ambitious despot this time. No, no such bloody luck.

It was Xania Monet, the, em, well known R&B singer, whose song How Was I Supposed to Know breached the Billboard R&B radio charts at number 30. Xania had previously featured in charts like R&B Digital Sales, Hot Gospel Songs and Emerging Artists. But this is big. This is significant.
