Luke Bryan Issues Blunt Response to Fan's Criticism Over 'Clearly AI' Single
Country cowboy and American Idol judge Luke Bryan just shut down a bold accusation about his latest single, suggesting listeners should quit taking things so seriously after one implied the lyrics were written by AI.
The video, originally uploaded by an Instagram user who goes by the username jiujitsuweasel, was reposted on the social media platform by the Country Chord account. The creator spoke directly to into the camera, asking, "Luke Bryan, what the f--k is going on with your new song?" before playing a clip "for the people who haven't heard it."
The new track, called "Fish Hunt Golf Drink," details what life would be like "if it wasn't for the tax man" and all of life's responsibilities.
"Every day would go: wake up, coffee, camo, climb tree," the chorus goes. "Wet line, 18, fish, hunt, golf, drink all fall, all spring, all summer long, I'll be living it up and living it on."
The Instagrammer, who is obviously not a fan of the tune, went on to complain about the way the "clearly AI song" was bound to "pop off" on the charts, venting, "It literally just sounds like someone went to Google Gemini and said, ‘Make country song but make it sound like a 4-year-old…wrote it.'"
"No creativity in today and age [sic]," he added. "Everyone is so fried. We're cooked, we're done."
According to the screenshot posted by the country-focused platform, Bryan clapped back in the comment section of the critical clip, writing, "It's called a fun song. Just listen and have fun."
He added a piece of advice for the chronically online, concluding with, "Go get on a boat quit scrolling on your phone all day."
While many fans agreed that the track was not an example of high-caliber songwriting, they were quick to agree that it wasn't that deep.
"It sounds like every Luke Bryan song ever," one replied. "Im not gonna go out of my way to listen to it but it's just inoffensive fun music."
"I mean Luke Bryan is one of the originators of Bro-Country," another noted. "That whole genre exists in part because of him. I don't think he intended it to be a deeply written philosophical song. More like a shotgun a beer while you're already hammered type of song."
"Change the channel," they added, while someone else wondered, "why do people get so pressed over a fun song?"
"Song is exactly what Luke said, just about having fun," a fourth agreed. "the tiktoker might not be wrong but neither is Luke."
