Any details? What part is AI generated? Which model? What tools? What was the process?

Extremely generic, but still catchy and the fact that it got mainstream is interesting. There are lots of both Udio and Suno creations which I genuinely like, but the best use case I've seen is for Kando: youtube.com/watch?v=vOE7EAlPUwE (cool tool too)

I'm not sure this was actually generated by AI and can't find any news stories that confirm that it's made by AI.

    Pop music lyrics being dumb is not a good reason to assume that they're made by AI.

      They are "dumb" in the same sense that a very well crafted, detailed, and otherwise normal picture of a human with seven fingers and an inconspicuous extra hand is "dumb".

  I found this, but it's an interview in Dutch (which I don't speak): https://www.538.nl/bas-en-dylan/het-mysterie-rondom-het-nummer-zo-zomer-van-john-de-koning https://www.538.nl/bas-en-dylan/het-mysterie-rondom-het-numm... They seem to think the lyrics are handcrafted, but performed by AI. For all I know they are just guessing.

Sounds good enough (clearly benefits from a huge amount of 80s pop songs in the training set - as well as those songs being very structured due to reliance on sequencers and drum machines for sound aesthetic), but something tells me it is popular because it's AI generated. What's that something? The song itself. It has these brilliant lyrics[1], sung dead seriously: Where am I going? It really matters It will be Spain Or France Or very far away Maybe Australia South America Not to Somalia Not to Kursk, Russia either, I presume. The song's conclusion? All these choices, the mountains or the beach Am I going to Poland or to Greece Ah yes, Poland, a famous summer vacation destination for the Dutch. If it was a regular song by a regular band, it most likely wouldn't be so over-the-top ridiculous - which is a part of the appeal. Someone singing their heart out weighing the choices of going to France or Somalia for vacation is just too goddamn funny to not make it to the top.

So no copyrights, if it's true?

Flagged because it is only a link to the song. Title is speculation.
