I went and looked it up because I had to hear what an AI-made song nominated for a Grammy sounds like... really? This is award-worthy music? No part of this song sounds any different than the million other songs out there already in this genre.

Actually, now that I say that, I'm not surprised it's AI generated, considering how unoriginal it is

Gotta agree. It very much sounded like the filler song you'd skip on an album as it's mediocre.

I've never had any respect for the grammy's. I recognize the artist's efforts, but their music has always been "eh" at best.

Well, that's what most awards are. How good of a friend the nominee is with the people casting the votes/assigning the prizes. There's zero transparency among most popularity awards. The art died decades ago. It's all about celebrity culture and that record label money. There's some extraordinary music around being produced, but it's not winning any Grammys.

His other song with Travis Scott is better, but I believe it's more the production of it rather than the impact. It's just a very well done song from a technical standpoint. However tonally it's pretty mediocre.
