Does this mean that there will never be another “Achy Breaky Heart?”

I hope so!

Here’s the song:

"AI Generated" means "written by Indian programmers".

Not that they'd have to work hard. In 2015, Sir Mashalot overlayed 6 country pop songs to show how formulaic they are:

I found it quite lame. Maybe I prefer “Achy Breaky Heart” after all.

It will be interesting to do “blind tests” on country music purists to see if they can figure out which songs are written and sung by humans and which were written and sung by AI.

Most likely their “hits” will get lower and lower, month by month, year by year—until they approach zero.

Songwriting is dead.

I can literally generate a whole album by entering a few prompts, generate a demo, commission musicians to record the music, and no one will ever know it was all composed by AI.

I'll bet it's better than any "real" rap songs.

Actually, this stuff is pretty good. I caught it on Youtube.

I caught some other examples, and it's got a good handle on the music.

There was another AI that has a bunch of old-sounding recordings that used a fair amount of bad words I came across almost a year ago. That was not worth passing onto anyone, though.

Are you referring to a certain song about “glue”?

That ain’t what AI does. It needs now programmer, Indian or otherwise.

There are a lot of AI videos of Elvis, playing various characters, like Captain Kirk.

AI is writing by people in India, I was told.

That supposed music is terrible. I knew it would be.

An AI generated text at 6:13 am Monday morning informed us our 11:10 am flight was canceled and that we had been booked on a 6:30 am flight - we had 17 minutes to travel 50 miles and make the flight.

Even AI should have known we would not have been hanging around the airport five hours early.

If anyone knows of a useful and reliable use of AI, please post.
