Country Star Blanco Brown
A.I. Can’t Replicate Beating Heart of Human Artists

Artificial intelligence can put sound and lyrics together no problem … but, it can’t capture the heart of a human artist — so says a country music star.
Here’s the deal … an A.I.-generated song titled “Walk My Walk” has gone viral in recent days — with many vibing to the robot-manufactured hit.
However, one man who didn’t like the track one bit was Blanco Brown … who decided to race the proverbial steam engine just like John Henry, and create his own version of the song using an all-human team of producers, engineers and more.
We chatted with Brown on “TMZ Live” … and, he tells us he doesn’t think a robot can capture the emotion or feeling of a real artist — and, he says he doesn’t consider his song a cover either since he says he went in and created the song basically from scratch.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Blanco says a former protégé of his actually made the A.I. track … and, while he says he can hear likenesses to his own voice, it’s nowhere near as good as him — and, he points out, commercially successful songs like the A.I. version aren’t always the best ones.
Brown’s basic hypothesis … A.I. won’t replace humans because it simply can’t compare to the life a real human artist can breathe into the song — though we’ll let ya listen to both tracks and make your own judgment.
