Welcome to Qajar Jazz!

You may have stumbled on a 'Persian Jazz' playlist on Youtube from a channel called Qajar Jazz, or perhaps discovered an artist by this name on Spotify, or Apple Music. I regret to inform you that Qajar Jazz is an AI-generated music project. The audio appears to be entirely AI-generated with minimal human input, though the uploader has added fake credits of Iranian and American jazz musicians in an attempt to pass it off as authentic.

Given recent geopolitical events, the timing of this channel is highly suspicious. It appears to be a way to cash in on public sympathy for Iranians. Qajar Jazz is not only accepting monetary support through their Patreon, but they are racking up hundreds each month in YouTube, Spotify and other streaming revenue.

Whatever your opinion may be on AI-generated music, we believe that using it to fool listeners and exploit their sympathies is deeply wrong. Instead, we'd like to provide you with an alternative option: A playlist of REAL Iranian and Persian music, that also sounds a hell of a lot better:

Stay vigilant, friends. It's a wild world.
