United States country music performer Luke Bryan has publicly rejected an online claim that his new single, “Fish Hunt Golf Drink,” was created using artificial intelligence. The dispute began after an Instagram content creator posted a video analyzing the track, which quickly drew more than one million views and described the song as if someone had asked Google Gemini to generate a country track written at a preschool level. The critic argued that the single sounded artificial and lacked authentic human songwriting, prompting many commenters to question Bryan’s creative process and echo concerns that the production relied on AI tools rather than traditional music-writing methods. United States-based Bryan responded directly from his official Instagram account, entering the comments to defend his work and challenge the criticism. He described “Fish Hunt Golf Drink” as a fun, lighthearted song designed purely for entertainment, rather than a complex lyrical statement or technical showcase. Bryan also pushed back on the tone of the critique, questioning who the commentator was and telling the user to close the phone, stop scrolling all day, and go spend time on a boat. The exchange, centered on a track that highlights outdoor recreation and alcohol consumption, marked an unusual instance of Bryan personally confronting negative feedback in a public social media forum.
