Imagine somebody texted upon themselves. Now I'm being serious.

somebody texts it upon themselves to make an AI version of your performance and now it has millions of views it's number one on global Shazam ranking and is the number two actually not number two is the number is it's the fifth most watched video on youtube now of course you're probably looking at 453 000 views day one and you're realizing to yourself how is that the fifth most watched youtube on a currently well let me explain it to you so some random fan made a viral AI video of what's called quote silver night I have no idea what comes after that in parentheses I kid you not we're not parentheses if you're watching our analytic dreams video it's the one before the parentheses on this specific picture it's like gang remix and that

whatever before that I don't know what in the world is supposed to spell out I don't know if that's in English it'll look like hieroglyphic to me. So anyways, we're just going to call it Silver Knight. So with this particular AI virus sensation, it's racking up millions of views. And not only is it not real, but it's a cover slash remix, an AI generated cover slash remix of the 1988 slash 1980 slash 1990s Russian hit. Oh, and then that's the phrase I can't pronounce it all. I don't even know what that is. I guess you're not. I think it's in Russian. So that being said, excuse my ignorance for all my Russians out there, hopefully using a translator just like my Latin audience.

You know what I'm saying? Shout out to y'all. You know what I'm saying? We're a wide dreams over here. Anyways. All right. So, but apparently this AI video was made by Yuri Shatunov. Shatunov. Chateanov, one of those. And basically, it's a nostalgic Soviet-era synth pop ballad about longing and lost love, which brings me back to my ultimate's synthetnav. time and time again. You know, throughout my history of covering the music industry, you come to realize that a lot of the greatest hits, no matter, regardless of the genre, is centering around love. If you make a song about love, your percentages of making a hit sky rockets exponentially, probably a 50% increase of your track, even if it's abysmal. If it's about love, you still have a 50% more chance of having a hit on your hands. And that's not even the state of hip hop. That's just a state of music in general.

So the reason why I laid it out like that is because that is essentially the song that's being covered by Kanye West. It's a Russian hit, a Soviet-era synth pop ballad about longing and lost love. Now, the reason why this went so viral is because not only have people just been enamored by this video, asking if it's real, and then quickly seeing two Kanye West's and then realizing, okay, this is just an AI. cover. But that didn't stop them from making all type of viral sensations. As when you look at social media specifically, I think I have the numbers up for social media. Yeah. So when you look at social media, TikTok, Instagram reals, and YouTube shorts are the main pivotal tools as far as the authentic marketing that's happening with this AI video. Those that have used the Kanye West Silver Knight AI cover, they've been rapidly.

amplified on all those social medias. And it's because for people who know about the Russian hit back in the 1980s to that 1990s, it's basically because of the nostalgic, um, the nostalgic like effect, Kanye West being a very controversial Western figure to them in that particular artist covering the track. And that is why a lot of people are not only uploading it or re-uploading it, but, you see that the actual numbers for this specific channel that makes AI videos, they have a plethora of hits.

They have numerous uploads reaching up to 100,000, 500,000, 1 million plus, 4 million plus, 20 million plus. This channel is known for these highly impactful AI covers. So if you're out of the loop, just know when it comes to all the clean drinking water. no I got to get into it when it comes to the prices of RAM and all PC parts raising through the roof

when it comes to everybody and their mama getting laid off okay my fault I'm gonna stop but basically this is what they're doing with AI ladies and gentlemen exhibit A as far as what's leading

to all type of price increases in humans get laid off people are using AI for whatever they please I mean y'all would be surprised people out here asking AI should I breathe you know what I'm saying at the end of day AI is a very interesting tool when used effectively now some will say this is using it effectively as far as revenue but you come to realize that there's a lot of heavy anti-a-ai tools ironically being used

by certain establishments so that it will get delisted from platforms and of course you can't monetize because it's not your actual work because if you don't know AI basically takes from a lot of different places and it forms a creation. So it's not 100% original. Whenever somebody uses AI, it's not as if AI is just the most masterful thinker in the world and they could come up with a hit. They're taking from a lot of different genres.

I'm just talking about music specifically as far as AI use. And whenever they're like, give me Travis Scott slash Michael Jackson type song, right? the AI can go throughout the entire discography, take bits and portions and create their ultimate outcome as far as what the actual user wanted. But I think when it comes to these covers, it does bring exposure to the actual channel,

but the longevity of revenue, I think, is hard to imagine, especially with so much anti-AI tools in place to make sure you don't monetize off of the work that you're sampling from. So overall, I didn't want to spend too much time on this. I just wanted to let you know that this is one of the biggest things going on in the music industry right now as far as AI creation. Here we are again. Another AI hit that's fully AI generated is off of a 1990s Russian hit that cannot pronounce

made by, you know, made for Kanye to cover. and the virality of it is because of social media is like TikTok, YouTube reels, Instagram reels, etc. So going deeper into this, Kanye West in the year of 2026 has had a mammoth amount of impact when it comes to his live action appearances. having 118,000 fans at the Attero... What in the world? Ataturk? Ata Turk? Hold up, let me see.

All right, let me have Jarvis read this off because what in the actual is that? What in the... All right, let me see if Jarvis can read that off for me because I have no idea what that is. Ataturk Olympic Stadium. Okay, thank you so much. All right, at the Turk, Olympic Stadium, Istanbul

had 118,000 fans coming out to Kanye West. And it was the first major Europe show in over a decade as far as for Kanye West. And it claimed to be the largest ticketed stadium show ever. And mind you, hold up now. And mind you, we haven't even got to what he did in America. Because, of course, having the two sold-out-so-fodd stadium nights, which I already covered, shameless plug, just type in Kanye, analytic dreams with a Z and all my coverage of Kanye will pop up. But more specifically, I talked about the Kanye West Sofa Stadium

nights and how much revenue was generated in that specific show, reaching $33 million in gross. And of course, it's because of the innovative stage that he performs on as far as I would play it, but I'm not trying to have any type of copyright in this specific video. But it's a whole planet. It's like half a planet that he's walking around. on it's kind of like those um for people who work out you know those medicine balls or does those half medicine balls that you use like to stand on and it's like a it's a flat platform but the other half is like half a medicine ball hopefully i know what that is basically that's how the planet is set up on his stage but much much larger and he's walking around and essentially he has a harness on him so he doesn't

slip off the stage but it's very innovative i kid you not if if if there's one thing that conier would never run out of his creativity. I mean, he's probably one of the most creative minds we've ever had in entertainment history. So when you look at him breaking all these records as far as 118,000 fans at the Autaturk Olympic Stadium. And then, of course, you look at the SoFi Stadium nights as far as generating $33 million in dollars, basically breaking a record for having one of the biggest shows in SoFi Stadium. You kind of realize this. still a huge, a huge, um, surge and engagement for Kanye West material. But then you come to realize that he's also canceled for saying anti-Semitic remarks.

So as far as Kanye was having this AI cover blowing up on the internet and everybody running to their mom and back to make viral TikTok, Instagram reels, YouTube reels, etc. off of an AI generated video to the point where it's the fifth most watched video on YouTube. I think that just showcases the demand for Kanye West and how much of an impact and how much of a notorious mass effect he's been having on just the music industry. So off of that, the main thing I wanted to get at is that not only is this AI, so if you see Kanye West Silver Knight and is running rampant on your social media, is an AI cover.

Everybody is re-uploading it because they enjoy the Russian nostalgic-like anthem being covered by Kanye West. And of course, if you look at the comment section and you can't understand what they're saying, it's probably, unless you speak Russian, it's probably because of what I just said,

as far as it being off of a Russian hit. So a lot of people who speak Russian are just enamored by this cover by Kanye West and whatever this hit is called. So with that being said, that's basically it. Shout to Kanye West still making a notorious mass effect, even in the year of 2026. But when it comes to his biggest impact as of right now, is AI generated, ladies and gentlemen.

You know what I'm saying? See, that's the problem. So with that being said, click my link to tree in my bio to follow me on my social media and if you're on Spotify.
