> I don’t think country fans have the discerning musical taste that the author somehow expects here

I'm not sure he assumes this, the author (Aaron Ryan) also was briefly interviewed at NPR [1] where the wording is neutral

   And I think that's more so in country music than other genres, which have depended on computers a lot more. Country music has really prided itself on the authenticity in songwriting and in music. And there's a large segment of country music fans that don't even like things like Auto-Tune, and so I think asking country fans and artists to accept AI is a big pill to swallow for a lot of people.

The mystery of who is behind it is not solved, but for another AI artist, Xania Monet, there is more information. In this CBS News fragment [2], the real author of the AI hits, Telisha "Nikki" Jones, defends herself and even shares how she actually works with Suno to create the songs. It’s interesting because, this time, the lyrics are human-originated. To me, she seems like a mix of a music manager, music producer, and co-author all in one. Probably, after her talent is recognized, the label might offer her co-authors, musicians, and others to collaborate with and create hits with real people. But without this first step, when she had to rely on her own skills and opportunities, it wouldn't have been possible. Like an example from AI-less era - without the $7,000-made "El Mariachi," there wouldn’t be Robert Rodriguez as we know him.
