California Songs
LIsted by Artist Name

This is a list of songs made with Artificial Intelligence programs (AI) that mention California. If you hate AI, you can use it to let you know which songs to avoid. All of the songs here were available to listen to online when I added them, but not long afterwards several of them were taken down from YouTube. That could be due to copyright issues involving how the AI program was trained on existing music, which has been an ongoing legal problem for AI companies. Some of the artists on this list have also already disappeared from YouTube.

This list was started in late 2025 without many titles on it. As AI is used more in music production the list will most likely keep growing since it's so easy now to make AI songs and videos. (In 2025 several YouTube channels released interpolations of 2Pac and Dr. Dre's "California Love" re-imagined as electric blues, Motown, 1950s Jazz, and 1950s R&B, all with similarities that might indicate they were influenced by each other or made by the same programs.) You can now go online, type in a description, and an AI program will make a complete song for you in minutes. They can also make a music video complete with AI musicians, and album cover artwork. (The artwork used here took ChatGPT only a few seconds to make.)

The use of AI in music and elsewhere has led to demands for labeling when it has been used (similar to food labels that must list artificial ingredients.) Spotify and YouTube both have systems for disclosing if AI has been used, and most of these songs indicate in some way on YouTube that they were made with AI. Even so, it's still hard to determine how much of a song was made by a computer and how much was made by humans, since some songwriters and producers are using AI along with human-made music and lyrics, and since so much pop music already uses auto-tune, pitch correction, quantizing, and other kinds of electronic processing. Most pop music is also created by teams of producers and writers, and all of these things tend to remove a lot of the human individuality from the music.

It doesn't seem to matter to many listeners if a song is made by humans or computers since fully-AI-created songs accompanied by AI-generated images of fake band members are already getting millions of streams. This easy use of AI programs to make music has angered musicians and songwriters who fear they could become obsolete. When the use of electronic synthesizers and samplers and drum machines became common in some genres of music in the 1980s, some musicians complained that they would take away the need for human musicians, but that didn't happen. Maybe fully-made AI music will take over the entire music industry and we will go to concerts with only computers and robots on stage or maybe AI will become just another tool used by human musicians. It's going to be interesting to see and hear what happens.
