As of press time, the label was forced to pause the AI songwriter after it wouldn’t stop saying the N-word over and over.

Good Onion articles feel like they could be true.

This is an excellent article.

i've been gettin low-key scared at the creeping inclusion of pop spirituality in the country music i hear these days. I'm talking about the fluff-n-stuff pop-country crap playing on yer supermarket 'radio' not disparaging the genre as a whole.

Marrying pop-country-God to the other pop country mad-libs of jeans, trucks, whiskey, and guns feels like a bridge too far to me for some reason. It's pissing me off and in my experience it is increasing in prevalence.
