Google's AI music generator MusicLM is explored in this episode, and we test our ability to distinguish AI from human-made music.

Broadcasting live out of Tasmania’s Edge Radio studios 4-5pm (AEDT), Media Mothership explores how media shapes our understanding of the world around us. Host Dr Craig is joined by Lord Taylor to discuss today’s topic on Deefake satires, AI chatbots and the impact of AI on pop culture today. As well as our big announcement of our own experiment in this area starting from next show.
