They are "dumb" in the same sense that a very well crafted, detailed, and otherwise normal picture of a human with seven fingers and an inconspicuous extra hand is "dumb".
Sounds good enough (clearly benefits from a huge amount of 80s pop songs in the training set - as well as those songs being very structured due to reliance on sequencers and drum machines for sound aesthetic), but something tells me it is popular because it's AI generated.
What's that something? The song itself. It has these brilliant lyrics[1], sung dead seriously:
Where am I going?
It really matters
It will be Spain
Or France
Or very far away
Maybe Australia
South America
Not to Somalia
Not to Kursk, Russia either, I presume. The song's conclusion?
All these choices, the mountains or the beach
Am I going to Poland or to Greece
Ah yes, Poland, a famous summer vacation destination for the Dutch.
If it was a regular song by a regular band, it most likely wouldn't be so over-the-top ridiculous - which is a part of the appeal. Someone singing their heart out weighing the choices of going to France or Somalia for vacation is just too goddamn funny to not make it to the top.

(cool tool too)
Try looking up the lyrics and translating them to English.
This should dispel any doubts.
They seem to think the lyrics are handcrafted, but performed by AI. For all I know they are just guessing.
