Sheryl Crow, the renowned singer, has expressed strong disapproval of Drake for his use of artificial intelligence to sample Tupac Shakur's voice. In a conversation with the BBC, the recipient of nine Grammy awards voiced her concerns over Drake's choice to employ AI in his track "Taylor Made Freestyle," which also features Kendrick Lamar. Crow is set to delve deeper into the implications and ethical considerations of AI in her forthcoming album titled "Evolution," signaling a critical stance on the technology's influence in music and beyond.
Drake incorporated the AI-generated voices of the late Tupac "2Pac" Shakur and Snoop Dogg in his track. However, the release was met with immediate legal action as the estate of Tupac Shakur issued a cease-and-desist letter to Drake. In response to this, the Toronto-based artist swiftly took down the song from all digital platforms following its initial release.
Claiming that AI technology "goes against everything humanity is based on," Sheryl Crow called it a "slippery slope" and a "betrayal." She asserts that last year, after meeting a young composer whose work used the program, she first started to concentrate on it. She hired an artificial intelligence clone of singer-songwriter John Mayer to sing in lieu of the young musician, according to Crow, since she was frustrated that male artists would not listen to her recordings.
The song made Crow "so terrified" that she was "literally hyperventilating," according to Crow. "I am familiar with John and the subtleties of his voice," she said. You could not have discerned that he was not really performing the song.
Learning that Drake utilized AI to revive 2Pac just made Crow more afraid of AI. "You cannot bring people back from the dead and believe that they would stand for that," Sheryl Crow said to the BBC, slamming Drake for utilizing AI Tupac Shakur voice. "Yeah, I probably should not do it, but I will apologize later," Drake probably thought to himself. Even if he removes it, people will still be able to discover it. It is abhorrent. It goes against everything that makes us human.
In her role as a mother of two adolescents, Sheryl Crow has expressed concern about the potential societal and political impacts of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in regards to the dissemination of false information and the eventual replacement of humans in the employment and other everyday activities. “I talk to my kids about it,” she added. Just like a frog in a pot of water, you are growing up with this creature and it does not appear hazardous to you. You will not notice the water is becoming hotter until we are all floating on top, but it is only just beginning to boil.
According to Crow, AI is capable of many things, but it is unable to do live performances. Everything will be OK so long as there is live music and people are using paintbrushes. However, with technology advancing at an alarming rate, there is no telling what the future holds. Many experts believe that AI will eventually surpass human capabilities in various areas, leading to potential job loss and changes in societal dynamics.

But it's not just about AI replacing humans in employment. There are also concerns about the spread of false information through AI-generated content. With the ability to analyze vast amounts of data and create realistic-looking articles, videos, and images, AI can potentially be used to manipulate public opinion and spread misinformation.
This is why it's important for individuals and society as a whole to be aware and educated about the potential impacts of AI.
