A viral AI-generated country song titled “Country Girls Make Do” has amassed 2.5 million streams on Spotify, featuring provocative lyrics. This trend in AI music is gaining traction, evidenced by AI artists like Breaking Rust and Xania Monet topping digital sales charts, raising concerns among real musicians about the future of their industry. Paul McCartney has responded by creating a silent track protesting changes to UK copyright laws that could impact artists.
