There's an awful lot of fake Christian music now.

We started talking about this maybe a year ago.

Yeah.

And how easy it is to make.

You don't need talent.

No, you don't.

Why don't you need talent?

Because you're just typing.

Right.

You're not doing anything musical.

No.

But it sounds like music because it's borrowing from what other people have done.

It's in some instances it's stealing because you don't necessarily know that people have given their consent for you to take their voices or take their words.

Well, it's all drawing on.

You're generating from something else. Millions of songs. Yes, you're generating for something else. It's always stealing. Yes, that's true. Always. I want to get Mike Dunahan here from St. Avenue North, whatever, she's just written a lot of songs. I know he's got opinions about this stuff. So I'm asking him, hey, we should talk about this because I know it's a thing in Nashville.

Yeah. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Well, on Spotify, there's just like that Solomon Ray fake.

I remember that. Yeah. He's got millions of downloads. And I guess, I guess on the charts for all sorts of

genres, these fake artists are getting all this, but artists too are using it it's just a tool

using it for what like for music right songs like you can have it write a song oh well now you've got

a melody that you never wrote but who knows who would know that yeah and it's formulaic
