<p>Musician <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-rich-reacts-to-garth-brooks-decision-to-keep-selling-bud-light-at-his-bar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Rich</a> took a swipe at modern country music during a recent discussion about the impact <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/300-million-jobs-will-be-lost-degraded-by-artificial-intelligence-report-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">artificial intelligence</a> could have on songwriting in the industry.</p>
<p>The 49-year-old country singer said the technology could possibly produce a better product than what many in the genre have been creating, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/john-rich-doesnt-think-ai-could-be-any-worse-than-state-country-music-today">Fox News</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;Could AI do any worse than some of the country singers that are out there right now?&#8221; Rich asked. &#8220;I&#8217;m not sure that&#8217;s even possible.&#8221;</p>
<p>While Rich didn&#8217;t call out specific recording artists, he did say AI could never replace great songwriters.</p>
<p>&#8220;Listen, you can&#8217;t replicate the great songwriters,&#8221; the country star said. &#8220;You just can&#8217;t. I mean, you&#8217;re talking about Albert Einstein honky-tonk songwriters.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d like to see AI write &#8216;He Stopped Loving Her Today,'&#8221; he added, referencing the famed song from the late George Jones. &#8220;It ain&#8217;t gonna happen.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Now, they might be able to take some redundant-sounding song and turn it into another redundant-sounding song, but that&#8217;s the state of country music as it is today anyways,&#8221; Rich continued. &#8220;I don&#8217;t see it as a huge threat. I think if you want to make sure that your songs stick out, why don&#8217;t you write &#8217;em and sing &#8217;em like nobody else can, including AI.&#8221;</p>

<p>The comments were similar to what country artists like Tracy Lawrence, Nate Smith, Riley Green, and Tyler Hubbard have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/wild-west-country-artists-weigh-in-on-using-ai-to-write-music" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> about AI.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a little scary that it&#8217;s kind of out there in the Wild West,&#8221; Lawrence said. &#8220;I&#8217;d like to see some more regulations on it. I&#8217;m afraid it&#8217;s going to get out of hand real quick.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I hope that we put some buffers in place,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Songwriters should be able to write their songs from their mind. They don&#8217;t need AI helping them write songs. There&#8217;s a lot of things we can use it for that probably, we really shouldn&#8217;t, so we’ll see how it turns out.&#8221;</p>
<p>Smith said that the &#8220;world&#8217;s always going to change. Anything&#8217;s going to happen. Nothing&#8217;s worth freaking out over, I think is the main thing… Real country writers, I think, are going to be around forever.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I would struggle to think something that couldn&#8217;t feel could really write a song, to make somebody else feel,&#8221; Green added.</p>
<p>Hubbard joked that as long as AI &#8220;doesn’t learn how to write songs and perform on stage, I&#8217;ll be OK. But you never know.&#8221;</p>
