Is Bou AI?
No — Bou is a real band.
We list 7 live shows for them across 7 venues. AI-generated acts do not book venues, sell tickets and turn up — it is the one thing a generated project cannot fake, and the tell behind every AI band exposed so far.

Some of these checks may look inconclusive on their own — a band can be missing from MusicBrainz or release quickly. They do not change the answer. The gig history settles it.
