The Water is Wide as Bluegrass
Not the original melody, but seems to work anyway. The inflection1 of the lyrics is very bluegrass, clichéd bluegrass I think. It is quite amazing that AI can capture this. Good or bad? Too early to tell. Disruptive? Almost certainly.

Musical inflection refers to the subtle variations and nuances in the performance of music that add expression, emotion, and character to a piece. These variations can include changes in dynamics (loudness and softness), tempo (speed), articulation (the way notes are played or sung, such as staccato or legato), and pitch (slight raising or lowering of a note). Inflection allows musicians to convey their personal interpretation and emotional connection to the music, making each performance unique.
In more detail, musical inflection involves:
Dynamics: Gradual or sudden changes in volume, from very soft (pianissimo) to very loud (fortissimo).
Tempo Variations: Slight speeding up (accelerando) or slowing down (ritardando) of the tempo to enhance expression.
Articulation: Differences in how notes are attacked, sustained, and released, affecting the smoothness or separation between notes.
Pitch Modulation: Minor deviations in pitch, such as vibrato (a regular, pulsating change in pitch) or portamento (a smooth glide from one note to another).
These elements of musical inflection are essential for transforming a set of written notes into a living, emotive performance, allowing the performer to communicate more deeply with the audience.
