Song Performed by Artificial Intelligence – Sefirat HaOmer

Question

During the days of Sefirat HaOmer, is a song created by artificial intelligence considered in halacha to be like vocal singing with a human voice, or does it have the status of listening to a musical instrument (klei zemer)?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

It does not matter how the song was created, but how it ultimately sounds.

If it sounds like vocal singing with a human voice, its status is that of singing. And if it sounds like a musical instrument, its status is that of regular music.
