Last week, an AI-genre song topped the Billboard charts for the first time ever. It’s about the song Walk My Walk by the “artist” Breaking Rust. And a mysterious AI song has gone viral on Tiktok – sending users into a frenzy. Björn Jeffery wonders if it matters how the song was made or if a good song is simply a good song.
