Seriously, who the hell is Alex Idell? As near as we can tell a literal nobody. This persona is allegedly a singer with no social media presence outside of being in some Little Monsters Entertainment "videos".
Now think about it a minute....do you know a single musical artist that is not doing everything they can to "get their name out there"? None of us can.
Our hot take is that Alex Idell isn't actually a person, but an AI generated set of musical tones. This is our reasoning:
- The entire lack of social media presence outside of, at the time of writing, three (3) Little Monster Entertainment "videos".
- The entire lack of ANY web results outside of the aforementioned videos (Kenny, that word means "stuff we said earlier").
- "Lyrics by Whit Whitman" appear on each video, as well as "©2024 by Whit Whitman" on two of the videos.
- You can buy Alex Idell's MP3 Album for $9.99 on Amazon Music
- The videos are dated August 21, 23, and 24th of this year and they are all obviously AI generated videos.
Now, this doesn't obviously point to fact that Alex Idell is an AI, but.....
Little Monsters also uploaded a song/video called "The English Rap" and that one is denoted as "Performed by AI" as well as "Lyrics ©2024 Whit Whitman." Who really thinks that our main man, who self-professes to be "just trying to survive and make money" has the bandwidth to be writing music? On top of making movies and mentoring children?
...and if he's such a film-maker, why is he using AI generated music videos? Allegedly he knows how to make short form video as he's been proffering himself as a mentor and industry professional for years. This would be a great opportunity to promote himself as a filmmaker.....but instead he's using AI. The album: Persistence to the Point of Success isn't showing up anywhere...yet.
So we have evidence of Ken "Whit" Whitman using AI to make music and to make videos. It isn't a huge leap of logic to assume he's also using it to write the music and to create a virtual singer.
Oh, and Alex Idell isn't the only one...there is also Atlanta Ingram who doesn't seem to have any existence outside of the song, "Home-Less for the Holidays", which seems to be the theme song for the same titled movie that Kenny has coming out next week.
Of course Kenny hasn't disclosed that these videos are AI generated, which is a YouTube requirement:
"Creators must disclose content that:
- Makes a real person appear to say or do something they didn’t do
- Alters footage of a real event or place
- Generates a realistic-looking scene that didn’t actually occur
This could include content that is fully or partially altered or created using audio, video or image creation or editing tools."
The emphasis is ours.....
See for yourself:
2024.11.24 Edit: We found a single bare-bones website for "her". There is a contact page at the address listed is for a Ghanaian LGBTQ+ non-profit located in San Francisco! Yeah....between this address and the fact that the contact page shows "Contact us today to book your appointment or to learn more about our luxurious spa services!", we're certain it's a bogus site for a bogus person.
The "About Page" is clearly a placeholder for what was a sample website, not unlike the placeholders on the www.communityfilmcollaborative.org website. Oh and this website, Little Monster Entertainment website, and the communityfilmcollaborative website are all registered through the same registrar...and it isn't a big name one, so quite a coincidence....
...what isn't a coincidence is that the home page graphic you're to believe is Alex Idell (OK, we just got that her initials are "AI") is a stock image file used a lot of places.
We're totally calling, with 100% confidence, that this is a fake person, presumably created by Ken "Whit" Whitman.
