NEW: "Mississippi-made soul singer" Christian artist "Solomon Ray" hits the number one spot for gospel music, is not a real person.
Christian artists are speaking out after the AI singer hit the No. 1 spot on the iTunes and Billboard charts.
"At minimum, AI does not have the Holy Spirit inside of it. So I think that's really weird to be opening up your spirit to something that has no spirit," said Christian music artist Forrest Frank.
"It’s difficult to envision a future where we look back and think creating AI was a net positive for our world. At most it should be a tool for humans, not a replacement for them," said Christian singer-songwriter Phil Wickham.
"I’m honestly still wrestling with the whole ai music thing. Can it be a tool to speed up a rather long tedious process - yes. But can it also be used as a crutch instead of finding inspiration and direction from Holy Spirit - also yes. Regardless - I’m believing God will be magnified regardless," said singer Colton Dixon.
BREAKING: A new UN report finds that Israel’s assault on Gaza - with the destruction of health care, education, infrastructure, even the banking system - has erased 69 years of human development, marking the worst economic collapse ever recorded.
This is not war: it is genocide.
It’s especially ironic because the lecture is exactly about the ‘paralyzing cowardice’ of today’s elites.
About universities, corporations and media networks bending the knee to authoritarianism. /4
This has happened against my wishes, and I’m genuinely dismayed by it.
Not because people can’t disagree with my words, but because self-censorship driven by fear (Trump threatening to sue the BBC) should concern all of us. /3
This sentence was taken out of a lecture they commissioned, reviewed through the full editorial process, and recorded four weeks ago in front of 500 people in the BBC Radio Theatre.
I was told the decision came from the highest levels within the BBC. /2
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
Here's Joan laughing and joking about how she helped "take down" Jeremy Corbyn by smearing him as "antisemitic".
Something she says she doesn't regret. Presumably because protecting apartheid Israel is more important to her than ending child poverty.
Labour MP Joan Ryan discussing a £1M "donation" from the Israeli Embassy with Shai Masot, an Israeli agent plotting to "take down" MPs hostile to Israel.
No biggie. It's not as if Joan helped "take down" Jeremy Corbyn or anything.
Oh, hang on. She did.
"The words 'never again' are a big part of growing up Jewish. When I saw the slaughter in Gaza, I came to understand that...they just meant 'never again for us'."
Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's, says his Jewish upbringing gave him "so much sympathy for people that are oppressed".

Sarah Hurwitz tells Z3 Conference that Jewish schools should ban smartphones to keep youths from seeing the carnage in Gaza: "I'm sorry if this is a graphic thing to say, but … when I'm trying to make arguments in favor for Israel … I'm talking through a wall of dead children."
What's also remarkable is that no British TV or radio broadcaster - so far as I'm aware - has ever made a proper, detailed investigative documentary on Farage's life - though it would take a series of several parts to do the story justice.
