A country hit made by artificial intelligence has climbed to the top of a Billboard chart - a first for the genre.
The song, "Walk My Walk," by an artist known as Breaking Rust, is now No. 1 on Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales chart. But the brooding, gravel-voiced cowboy behind the hit doesn't exist. At least, not in the traditional sense.
He's an AI creation with millions of streams, tens of thousands of followers and no verifiable human footprint.

Country music is so bad and artificial these days, AI should replace it soon.
Garth Brooks killed country music.
Modern country music is so bad that even AI can do it.
lol, truly one of the very best!
Or maybe the Dixie Chicks

LOL - I love that. I haven’t seen “Team America” in a while. The songs in that are hilarious
Wow 😮
I'd have to AGREE with you. Each of the artists you mentioned had their OWN INIMITABLE STYLE... NO Style in the "AI" cut... just another artificially generated "acceptable" voice, accompanied by so called "Country" music... it's still lacking the "real life" experience of "LIVING" a "real Life".. which is ALIEN to "AI."
post of the day!
Garth, Merle and Bruce - the 3 stooges
Not gonna lie... The song sounds good. Pretty scary.
The voice has the soft undertone (burr?) I hear in most black singers’ voices. It doesn’t work when combined with the cover. Others mentioned the lack of breaths. It doesn’t compare with Johnny Cash’s “Ghost Riders.”
My wife is a country music fan. (I am not.)
I am giving her a “blind trial” right now.
I gave her no information except that the song was “new” and asked her to rate it.
Her verdict....
“I like it a lot.”
Ouch.
“Naked Came the Stranger”, A bestseller with a fun backstorie, predates The Bruggles by ten years.
“Naked Came the Stranger” is a 1969 erotic novel that was written as a literary hoax by 24 journalists, led by Mike McGrady, under the pseudonym Penelope Ashe. The book became a bestseller and cult classic, not for its literary merit, but as a commentary on the perceived vulgarity of popular culture, with the hoax being revealed after its success.
...Mike McGrady was convinced that popular American literary culture had become so base—with the best-seller lists dominated by the likes of Harold Robbins and Jacqueline Susann—that any book could succeed if enough sex was thrown in. To test his theory, in 1966 McGrady recruited a team of Newsday colleagues (according to Andreas Schroder, nineteen men and five women) to collaborate on a sexually explicit novel with no literary or social value whatsoever. McGrady co-edited the project with Harvey Aronson. Among the other collaborators were well-known writers including 1965 Pulitzer Prize winner Gene Goltz, 1970 Pulitzer Prize winner Robert W. Greene, and journalist Marilyn Berger.
...The revelation of the true origins of the book prompted more sales with the book selling approximately 90,000 copies by October 13, 1969.[12] By the end of the year, the book had spent 13 weeks on the New York Times Best-Seller List

Oh, no... This means AI is getting better at creating music.
Think of all the new “Beatles” songs that will now come out.
Randy Travis has recently dabbled with AI to produce new music with his voice and arrangement. May be psychological but I think I can tell the difference.
I wonder how the Player Piano affected music since they could play more notes than a single human could? I see people on YouTube make music that blow away the accepted masters.
Music after all is just harmonic tones produced by myriads of instruments or objects in an order that is pleasant to the listener.
We may actually now hear a base singer that can stay on key.😇
