Artificial intelligence is slowly taking over the music industry over the past few months and it also became a controversial topic to some, as there are musicians who have songs that feature voices of artists generated by the said technology without their permission.
More recently, Luke Bryan reacted to AI by sharing his true feelings about the trending technology.
The country star recently dropped by "Jimmy Kimmel Live" where he reacted to a version of his song generated by artificial intelligence.
During their conversation, the former "The Voice" coach is open to seeing what his lyrics would look like if it had been generated by AI, but he was also scared that it might be better than the songs he had written in the past.
Before the host queued up the video montage, Bryan is confident that the word "beer" will appear in the lyrics.
It later played and featured some of the most common words from usual country songs like "back road," "small town boy," "guitar," and many more. However, beer was not included. (via Big Country 96.9)

Despite the big change in sound, the singer approves of the song for now and it seems like he doesn't have any problem about it.
"I think I'm okay for now on the AI... The problem is, if I really sound like that, yeah, 31 [chart-topping hits] will not happen," he said.
AI Music Taking Over the Music Industry
Over the weekend, the music industry was shocked after a song by Drake and The Weeknd titled "Heart on My Sleeve" made it to music streaming platforms. The problem? The voices in the track were completely generated by artificial intelligence.
After it made rounds online for a few days, it was taken down by several music platforms. However, recent reports state that the song garnered millions of streams already.
The said track reportedly had 1,423,000 streams in the United States alone which reportedly earned $7,500 while global streams raked up to 2,125,000 streams, which equals to $9,400.
Billboard reported that song royalties are being rolled out on a monthly basis, meaning streaming platforms will have time to detect copyright infringement. Therefore, the anonymous TikTok user, who uploaded the song, will not earn anything from the track.
