Not really able to give a comparison on the "Kongos-like" one, unless we had Kongos actually performing the song. I will say, that even though the songs were interesting enough, they didn't really hit or resonate with me the way music usually does. So, I would agree...Kongos is *probably* safe (for now).
After listening to the songs, my biggest gripe about them is this: there's a clear lack of soul, depth, risk, concept, and skill. Not only are they mixed very flat, but there aren't any interesting details to nitpick.
This was an interesting experiment... However, I don't particularly think giving prompts to an AI to try and replicate the KONGOS style is a good idea. Like you said, eventually AI will (most likely) get to the point where it CAN. I wouldn't want to support or associate myself with a program that could copy my own skill and style as an artist/musician.
However, as a progressive thinker, it is a fascinating field of study that I would like to look into! The potential downsides are the reason why I hesitate.
This was an interesting read that answered my questions regarding AI in your guys' music in general too, it put me at ease knowing it won't go there.
You are right! The first examples are inline with today's pop radio. The Come with me now examples were cracking me up. I couldn't listen to the entirety of either one. That's what AI considers gritty accordion?

Not even close IMHO. Interesting exercise though. Keep making your music!! 😉😊
I never knew the end of the world could be such a happy place! Stomping around on the ash and blood until the sky falls on you. Um yeah, you’re safe.
The first one? Not bad. But wow! Yeah, you guys are safe. Plus- AI can't play live.

Kongos are safe from AI.
