Crowded House deny fake claims about Neil Finn in AI video
He has only two sons, Liam, 41, and Elroy, 35.
Dr Lance O'Sullivan, a former New Zealander of the Year, also appears in the video to deliver a speech about the 'pharmaceutical mafia'.
'This might be the most important decision of your life,' the AI-generated O'Sullivan claims.
In a statement to their Facebook page, the band shared the video to humorously deny the claims about Finn's sexual performance.
'We're not sure where this came from but please don't be fooled. Neil's never had trouble with erections.'
Finn is a founding member of Crowded House, which formed in 1985 after the 'split' of Split Enz.
Known for tracks Don't Dream It's Over, Fall At Your Feet, and Weather With You, the group have sold more than 15 million albums worldwide.
They will be touring Australia this year but have no current plans for more shows on New Zealand shores.

And throughout we still tend to humanize, to anthropomorphise. In their first poetry collection Dear Alter , just released by Auckland University Press Jiaqiao Liu explores "the ambiguities, paradoxes and kinships between human and machine" In the process he introduces us to everything from telenoid robotic communication devices in rest homes to unwanted translation in Wechat. Jiaqiao Liu is a poet from Shandong, China. They grew up in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland and have an MA in creative writing from the International Institute of Modern Letters.
