    Country music lovers should feel stupid by letting this become a hit. I mean is AI going play the Grand Ole Opry?

      is AI going play the Grand Ole Opry?

      Virtual bands playing human-composed and -recorded music predate present music from generative AI, and they’ve done performances.

      I imagine at some point, probably someone will pair virtual bands with AI-generated music, and do performances of it, if they haven’t already.

        But like…that requires work. The whole point of an AI band is to not do any work.

        This is a spray and pray approach. Generate 200 songs. Hope one gets popular, make money off that from Spotify. Move on. Switch genres.

          Nah, Vocaloids like Hatsune Miku aren’t AI. Vocaloid music uses voice synthesizers, with each character being a unique voicebank with a mascot. But the final result of a Vocaloid song is completely man-made. They’re closer to instruments than they are to AI.
