I think it's an exercise in futility to debate which musicians are better, but we can have some fun. I asked
ChatGPT the following:

==============
The Monkees were a band created by a corporation. The Kingston Trio was a singing trio. Were they created by a corporation?

ChatGPT:

The Kingston Trio were not created by a corporation in the same way as The Monkees. The Kingston Trio was formed in 1957 by Dave Guard, Bob Shane, and Nick Reynolds, who were college students with an interest in folk music. They gained popularity through their performances and recordings, and their success led to their being signed by a record label. Unlike The Monkees, who were specifically created for a TV show and assembled by a production company, The Kingston Trio was an organic formation of musicians who were signed to a label due to their existing popularity and musical talent.

I leave it to the reader to ask about the others.

ChatGPT and other AIs do not understand stuff. They just collect and organize text that they are fed, using rules that they develop in response to numerical rewards. So it's basically a summary of what 50 million monkees are saying.
