Adobe Music AI, How Much ReesaTeesa Made, & The Willy Wonka Experience

an interesting mix of items this week...

Hey. We’ve got an…uh…eclectic mix of updates this week.

In today’s newsletter:

  • Adobe’s new music AI tool

  • The Willy Wonka Experience

  • Is KSI a billionaire?

  • How much ReesaTeesa made from Who TF Did I Marry?

Adobe Launches New AI Music Tool

Adobe just launched Project Music GenAI, a tool that allows creators to create music with simple text prompts, like “powerful rock” or “happy dance.” Once the music is generated, users can tweak the audio, shifting the tempo, structure, and intensity.

According to Adobe, they envision creators of all kinds — broadcasters, podcasters, and social media creators — using the platform. They say it stands out from other music AI tools because of the level of customizability it offers.

Willy Wonka Experience Blows Up in Flames

ICYMI, the latest viral sensation, the Willy Wonka Immersive Experience advertised online in Glasgow, Scotland, was a massive flop.

An immersive experience for Willy Wonka’s fans did not go as expected…

The organizers of the event used AI to generate images that suggested an immersive experience. Yet when parents showed up, it couldn’t have been further from that.

The “event” was an empty warehouse with dingy tapestries and lackluster decor scattered throughout the space. Children were handed a cup of lemonade (¼ full…) and 3 jellybeans on their way out.

Parents said the experience was so shocking and disappointing that children were screaming, and the police were even called. Attendees are now requesting a full refund of their $40 ticket(s) and even compensation for their transportation to the experience.

Does KSI Have a Higher Net Worth Than MrBeast?

In a recent social media challenge video, KSI casually revealed he’s “basically a billionaire.” We can’t say we’re surprised, given that Prime has been valued at roughly $8 to $10 billion. With a 20% ownership stake in the company, that’s roughly $2 billion added to his net worth.

While the reported net worths of top creators are purely speculation, this would bring KSI up the ranks, even surpassing the estimates for MrBeast.

ReesaTeesa Says Her Series Didn’t Make Much

ReesaTeesa took TikTok by storm with her 52-part Who TF Did I Marry series. In 5 to 10-minute increments, she shared her entire experience with a pathological liar ex-husband.

People have attempted to estimate her earnings from the series, with some saying she made up to $300k. But in a recent video, she said otherwise.

Turns out, she wasn’t accepted into the Creativity Beta program until halfway through her series. While she was able to earn a bit from the second half of the series, she was later removed from the program by TikTok.

Since the video, her status in the Creativity Beta program was restored, but it’s still unclear how much her series made her. Any guesses?
