• Their AI-generated promotional images display anomalies like missing fingers and mismatched footwear, and the band has no verifiable social media footprint.
• Deezer applied an AI-generated disclaimer to select tracks from their June release Dust And Silence as Spotify continues to omit such disclosures.
