Submission + - AI-generated song tops country music chart (go.com)
Tablizer writes: A song created through artificial intelligence has made history topping a Billboard country music chart, but it has also sent shockwaves through the music industry, with artists getting vocal about the AI-generated hit.
The new country tune, "Walk my Walk" by Breaking Rust, recently hit No. 1 on Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales chart, reaching over 3 million streams on Spotify in less than a month. That success has garnered mixed reactions from music fans and artists alike, particularly on TikTok, where hundreds of users have posted videos addressing the tune and others discussing the music in the comments.
Billboard has acknowledged Breaking Rust is an AI act and said it is one of at least six to chart in the past few months alone. "Ultimately, this feels like an experiment to see just how far something like this can go and what happens in the future and in other disciplines of art as well," senior entertainment reporter Kelley L. Carter told ABC News.
"AI artists won't require things that a real human artist will require, and once companies start considering it and looking at bottom lines, I think that's when artists should rightly be concerned about it," she added. ABC News attempted to reach out to Breaking Rust's creator for comment but did not receive a response.

Could it be that since university enrollment is down in general, more marginal kids applied, thinking their odds are better now? Also because of AI fears, those choosing STEM majors are down, and thus more of the applicants may be for "squishier" degrees that don't need as much math.

Like Jiiiihna. The upside is it makes commerce more efficient, as vendors don't need to deal with cash and related security.
If there comes a time where a centrally managed economy, population distribution, and perhaps genetic engineering becomes more efficient than ours, we may be SOL.

They were somewhat right: Donald is a dictator-wannabe who has already stuck his fingers into multiple industries.

Clarification: subject to judicial scrutiny to make sure they don't contain personal info or info irrelevant to the case.

In the clean-room approach, the other party or examiners are required to be strip-searched and to wear simple prison-like clothing as they go into a room without internet connections to examine the info in question? They can take written notes, but all notes are subject to scrutiny before being handed back.

Often the direction changes after a bubble. If you built a fancy little e-store for your niche store in 1999, likely it would be rendered nearly useless in the face of Amazon a decade later.
