AceShowbiz - Artificial intelligence (AI) "is a machine's ability to perform the cognitive functions we usually associate with human minds, such as perceiving, reasoning, learning, interacting with an environment, problem solving, and even exercising creativity," according to McKinsey.com. Voice assistants like Siri and Alexa are some examples of features that are founded on AI technology.
While AI, like most other machines, has helped make everything faster, there has been fear that machines can someday replace humans' functions and brains. Such is the case with the use of AI in music.
With the rapidly-growing technology, AI has been used to generate versions of popular songs sung by everyone who don't originally perform the tracks. While some fans have enjoyed it for bringing something fresh, others, mostly musicians, are fed up with it.
As the trend has gone viral, with Rihanna's voice and others' being used to make fake covers of songs by Drake, Kanye West and many more, here are some musicians who have publicly declared against using AI in making music.
