> The #1 song on this week’s Billboard Country Digital Song Sales chart is a song called “Walk My Walk,” by an artist called Breaking Rust.
> Now, if you’ve never heard of Breaking Rust, it’s because they’re not a real artist. The song is credited to someone named Aubierre Rivaldo Taylor, who is also behind an “artist” called Defbeatsai which posts some…well, pretty raunchy AI-generated songs.
> While the Instagram page for Defbeatsai discloses that the songs are AI-generated, the IG for Breaking Rust describes it as only “Outlaw Country” and “Soul Music for Us,” with no mention of that music being created entirely by a machine.
