The Boomy songs were removed because of suspected "artificial streaming" -- online bots posing as human listeners to inflate the audience numbers for certain songs. AI has made this type of activity easier because it allows someone to instantly generate many music tracks, which can then be uploaded online and streamed. Boomy, which was launched two years ago, allows users to choose various styles or descriptors, such as "rap beats" or "rainy nights," to create a machine-generated track. Users can then release the music to streaming services, where they will generate royalty payments. California-based Boomy says its users have created more than 14mn songs.
