Up next: Country Western slop

Based on this article by Victor Tangermann posted on Futurism.

AI has officially breached the top of the charts, with the generic, algorithmically-generated song "Walk My Walk" by fictional group Breaking Rust recently dominating the Billboard Country Digital Song Sales chart. This uninspired track, part of a surge of "AI slop" hitting platforms like Spotify, has amassed millions of streams, highlighting the music industry's rapidly accelerating trend toward synthetic artists.

Making the news even more concerning, the group's alleged composer is also behind raunchy AI music under a different pseudonym, revealing a deeper issue of content manipulation and platform abuse. As major labels sign deals with AI apps and fake artists thrive, this trajectory threatens the livelihoods of real musicians struggling to break through in an already saturated market.
