This TikTok-viral musician ‘ruins’ songs with AI. But is it parody or infringement?

Country music star Lainey Wilson was in attendance, for one thing, but the most unusual aspect of the February summit on AI and identity theft was when Rep. Darrell Issa played what sounded an awful lot like Johnny Cash singing the lyrics to Danish-Norwegian dance-pop anthem “Barbie Girl.”
