Crowded Home have taken the weird step of denying that band frontman and Fleetwood Mac guitarist Neil Finn has points with erectile dysfunction.
The band made the announcement after a pretend, AI-generated information broadcast fronted by TVNZ journalist Simon Dallow circulated on social media. The report claimed that Finn had fathered a baby on the age of 67, earlier than detailing his situation and the steps taken to resolve the problem.
“I by no means thought I might be capable to grow to be a father once more,” says pretend Neil Finn. “Truthfully, I imagine that chapter of my life was closed, not as a result of I did not need it, however as a result of I merely could not.
“For years, I lived with an issue. Most males are too ashamed to speak about. My erections grew to become weaker and weaker till they stopped altogether. No want, no confidence, no management. I used to be too embarrassed to even speak to my spouse about it.”
Faux Neil Finn goes on to element the steps taken to handle the issue, introducing additional pretend footage, this time of an AI-generated speech by famend Māori physician and former New Zealander of the 12 months Lance O’Sullivan.
“We’re unsure the place this got here from, however please do not be fooled,” say Crowded Home. “Neil’s by no means had bother with erections.”
The advert is the most recent instance of AI-generated fakery involving music and musicians, from the well-publicised “success” of AI-generated band Velvet Sunset, to the rising variety of social media posts purporting to point out well-known musicians in unlikely eventualities, which embrace AI-generated photographs of Tom Jones, Adele, Celine Dion, Ed Sheeran and Adam Lambert “singing” at Ozzy Osbourne‘s funeral.
