From Breitbart: Billboard’s number one song on its “Country Digital Song Sales” chart is called “Walk My Walk” by a band called Breaking Rust, and, according to Billboard, Breaking Rust was created by artificial intelligence (AI).
Welcome to the future, baby… This is only the beginning.
“In just the past few months, at least six AI or AI-assisted artists have debuted on various Billboard rankings,” wrote Billboard just last week. “That figure could be higher, as it’s become increasingly difficult to tell who or what is powered by AI — and to what extent.”
“Many of these charting projects, whose music spans every genre from gospel to rock to country, also arrive with anonymous or mysterious origins.”
The report explains that the AI “band” called Breaking Rust just appeared on social media in mid-October, and its new song, “Walk My Walk”, with an AI-generated cowboy, is already at the top of the charts. And there’s no sign of a human involved.
“[T]here are thousands and thousands of country singers out there, a few famous, many obscure, and they are losing to AI in the free market, and that’s gotta hurt,” Breitbart’s John Nolte wrote.
