Who gets Luke Combs more than a couple of hicks in the sticks? Maybe AI does????
So, like every other publication, we will use AI sometimes to help research and pull information quickly that we can edit down, put our spin or opinion on and then share it with you. Whether we like it or not, that's how most editorial will probably be done in the future. And sometimes, it's pretty good. But we'll let you be the judge.
So we set out to Write a series of song reviews of Luke Combs, because we think he's a total badass and anyone that disagrees has some serious issues, but then we thought, I wonder if we ask AI - what will the Matrix say?
Well, here it is folks, you be the judge. Can you tell AI wrote this? And do you feel bad at all that the computer actually can't listen to and understand music at the Heart and Soul level? At least we've got something on the machines right...humans!!! Plus, even though we used Chat GPT4 - it only goes up until 2022 and doesn't have the data set apparently to include his newest projects Growing Up and Getting Old. So, again, a shortcoming of the AI - but all in all, I think it is a pretty good run down of why people like these songs (FWIW)
