Lolita Cercel: the artist who doesn't exist, but shook up Romanian music!
Lolita Cercel, an artist created with the help of artificial intelligence, exploded into trending on TikTok, YouTube and streaming platforms, collecting millions of views in just a few weeks.
But the viral success sparked a REVOLT among local artists:
Many say that AI-generated music steals the chance of real artists who work for years for a place in the charts. 
Some voices even demand the blocking of Lolita's accounts on TikTok as a sign of protest. 
A Roma rights activist criticizes the project for exploiting Roma cultural identity in a virtual project, considering the gesture "inhumane". 
The project was launched by a young man who introduces himself as Tom, and so far "Lolita" has 7 songs published and appears as a verified artist on major platforms. 
What do you think?
Is AI music a creative revolution or a threat to real artists?
