AI-Generated flamenco

Sunday's "Washington Post," in the Arts and Style section, has a couple of long articles on how 2025 saw AI-generated music in both the pop and country fields, and apparently astute listeners recognized them as AI-generated. In flamenco, I pretty much stick to listening to my traditional favorites and am not familiar with most of the newer artists, as many members of the Foro are. The Articles got me thinking, is anyone aware if there have been any AI-generated flamenco pieces, both guitar and cante? I would think flamenco is too small a niche to make AI-generated pieces worthwhile, but AI seems to be taking over everything these days. Thus, my question.

Yes, but they still suck (gladly).

It sounds more like if you add max. compressor effect to your recording and it destroys all the dynamic and the small important details.

However, the average Joe might not be able to tell the difference.

We have already seen it happen (streaming services making fake music to generate income):
