I stream most of my music and podcasts on Spotify.
If you're like me, you probably look forward to the yearly Spotify Wrapped lists.
For the uninitiated, 'Spotify Wrapped' is a yearly top 5 list of your most listened songs year round.
I know it sounds kinda basic but people go nuts about it.
You probably saw mine on my Instagram story.
Anyway, this is about an artist (that I'm ashamed to name) who made it to Number 4 on my Top 5 list.
Yeah, I didn't post that one 😂
You don't need to know who it is.
The point is that it's an AI rap artist.
I first heard his songs on Tiktok and thought "Doesn't he sound like a mashup of Yeat, Travis Scott and Playboi Carti?"
I listened for a while and realized that it was AI.
And how did I know?
The songs were too perfect.
A regular rap artist would have like 2 hit songs, 3 okay songs and the rest SKIP!
This one had an inhumanly perfect album.
Then I heard one song were he admitted he was an AI.
Aha!
Anyway, that's how I drifted from the original artistes he was imitating to making this rapper (who shall not be named) my number 4 on my Top 5.
C'mon guys. I've given enough hints already, but if you guess correctly, reply this for a gift.
It reminds me of when I first started doing webinars in 2015.
As a chronic overachiever, I wanted an audio jingle to play before every session.
So there was this website based in the UK called MusicRadioCreative where you could type out what you wanted them to say, and also pick which voice actor would voice it.
It was mad oh. I wanted a British newscaster to do mine.
My Nigerian audience at the time were so impressed asking "which app did you use".
It's a human being oh, but I gatekept the secret.
Fast forward to 2024, I decided I wanted a whole theme song for our nightly show, Night School.
Off to AI I went.
Yup, that lovely song y'all have been hearing is by an AI artist created by me and signed to John Obidi Records.
Here's the crux of the matter.
The time is here when you'd say "I worked on this book myself for 6 months and I'm glad it's published", and people say "Congrats, but why?"
Or when you'd say "I spent 15 hours sorting out this spreadsheet".
Oversabi! Why?
Or "I only made 7 figures this year"
Ehen... Why?
Let AI handle it.
It will do the job faster, more profitably and more efficiently than any human.
Don't be afraid of AI replacing you.
It already has.
What you need to do is fire yourself from what AI can do, and learn to enslave it to cover more ground.
AI could have written this post too, but no, leave this one for me biko.
So hey, I've made some mad discoveries that I'd like to teach you as your Christmas gift.
A quick web class before we go off for the holidays - The Lazy Way to Build Digital Assets That Print Money 24/7, using AI tools that cost less than a Netflix Subscription.
Ehn, it's not lazy like that.
I just added that line as a sweet copywriter that I am.
