Local Guy Brags About Using AI For New Song Even After Everyone Agrees Bad Music Was Still His Fault

AUSTIN, TX — Despite a chorus of groans from the audience, local musician Lance Tremont boasted about using AI for his new song, completely missing the memo that bad music is still his responsibility.

Listeners quickly noticed that the track bore all the hallmarks of a normal tune—if it were trapped in a blender full of questionable choices. The mix was off, the lyrics were a grammatical disaster, and there was an inexplicable whiff of Axe body spray lingering in the air.

"With AI, I can finally outsource what makes my music distinctive to an algorithm that ensures it sucks just as much as ever, but with Oppenheimer levels of destructive force," Tremont declared, puffing out his chest with pride. "Wait till you hear the felonies we've committed with AI-generated monster sounds and genuine heartbreak. I’m finally liberated!"

Concertgoers noticed some minor improvements but couldn’t shake the sensation of Tremont’s rough edges still lurking somewhere in the mix. "There was something egregiously bad about the track," Kevin Slate recounted. "I can’t wait until Lance gets the next upgrade and is totally free of any human input!"

At publishing time, reports indicated that Apple’s Siri had been trying to play the new tune during fireworks shows, resulting in widespread headaches for angry moms, confused public schoolers, and dogs everywhere.
