Is this fake? I'm not sure. It seems superhumanly cute and adorable but the quality seems to be well beyond what AI could do a year past.



I'm leaning toward fake because of another video she made in which she sings in perfectly accented English with equally accurate intonation. I just can't believe that a person so young exists, but it is possible. And if she be real, then would her parents allow her to be exposed to the sleaze prevalent on the Internet? But I'm not certain.



If real then a year ago the Chinese public had AI far superior to what the USA has now. If so, it's no wonder the US military is freaking out.

The girl is probably real, albeit heavily filtered. The singing/music is just a sound track placed on top of the video, it's almost certainty not her voice.

Lol, you have parents who do this to make money off their children.

The USA will fear monger whom ever to raise more money for defense spending, also a tale as old as time.

Young people do exist. She is not one.
The girl singing I would guess to be over 25, maybe in her 30's.
The right makeup and lighting can do wonders.
The cuteness is there in an attempt to garnish hits.

By what criteria are you able to estimate her age to be 25-30?

Here is more music I'm pretty sure is fake. The images are all AI generated stills (I recognize the style), they are too good-looking, and there is no online presence outside of Youtube, no reviews, interviews, or scheduled public appearances. No one else seems to have noticed this.

 
That's a weird one.
Playlist.

Someone has access to old movie footage, so on the verge of copyright infringement unless they own the rights or know someone who can grant usage. Fair usage for the whole suit of songs seems dubious.
Someone also has access to a banjo, and took a few lessons. Is it a keyboard banjo.

Pictures of band members ( and names at the beginning of some songs seem to be AI, with that look of edgy, with it, and what goes for that foreign look sex appeal nowadays. ( Billie Eilish knock offs ). The names of the band members also evoke a sense of erotism and mystic, from different nationalities that for some reason all got together in an act of creation.

The production of each sing and visual footage does have a cost, so if ad revenue and donations comes flowing in

My guess. Some fakery. There is no live action scenes from the band itself, just overlying images and videos.
Music and singing real.<-- one person with a keyboard, and mixer
Videos footage from old movies real.
All still pictures fake AI.
Some person ( one person ) with access to Hollywood movie reels ( for free ) trying to make a buck.
The production of each song and visual footage does have a cost, but if ad revenue and donations comes flowing in, then that persons model of making some income paid off.

You might be surprised at how good AI is with sound in general and music in particular. Check out the AI singer who has a #1 hit on the country charts. Jazz star Patrick Bartley demonstrates some AI jazz and says it's really good, almost as good as me (and he's the best). Instruments are easier than singing, and AI singing can be excellent, good enough for stardom. I'm told the only weakness is lyrics. How can a human compete with a star whose salary is zero, will never be in a scandal or disobey in any way and can never grow old? The only advantage is personal appearances.

There are some openly AI channels whose music is quite excellent. The producer of one said it was a lot of work but of course much less than the traditional way.

A lot of 'normal human' music and singing is fake nowadays anyways, and has been for quite some time. In that, the artist(s) live sound on stage is very different than the studio production being sold. Someone such as talented Celin Dion who can carry a tune on her own and needs little 'correction' is in a minority in the mass production of music.
Surprising how music artists ( and acting ) were for the most part poor; then the radio, TV, film projected them to a wider audience for the masses to enjoy, and along with promotion, money and stardom could be made. Now with the internet, tech such as AI and the dissolution of control they are all going to be poor once more. The democracy of music gets dumbed it down somewhat and honest talent gets overcome be mediocrity.
The Oscars just ain't what it used to be. Does anyone care?
Ozzy Osbourne last album - composed, edited in his little keyboard. I guess if he went on tour he would have to bring along some 'session' musicians for the look.

I suppose one can poke holes in my short argument, but it is my opinion that the world id heading towards a kakistocracy ( government by the stupid ), if we can describe gov;t as any entity or organization that assumes power or has influence. Excuse my rant.

PS. As for this particular band and it's tie to old movie footage -- When and what did Amazon acquire recently ( Ans == 2022 MGM ). Is there a tie in to explore acceptance of AI music as a shiny production for domination. Just saying. The glowing comments ( could be fake too ) on each song and video, support a real observable dumbing down of the mass of music listeners.

That's just my opinion.
there's more, but I have to end it sometime.
Whether AI music evolves to become the de facto legitimate standard, history will tell.

Oh. So not an "estimation" by-eye, but because you know who it is.

I originally estimated by eye knowing that these things happen on the internet.
The space from top lip to nose seemed to be more of an more aged person/
The reference gives proof that she is not a 10 year old, just posing as one for the ooh aah hit facture.
Apparently that is her shtick and all the more power to her.

More proof --> look at Pamela Anderson, She has now gone makeup free publicly. Compare before and after pictures. Estimate the age. Are you fooled?
