Kehlani is in disbelief that an R&B singer recently landed a $3 million deal. Not because of any beef, but because the singer is AI.<\/p>\n
Xania Monet<\/a> appears to be a successful up-and-coming R&B artist, reaching No. 25 on the Emerging Talents chart and the No. 21 spot on the Hot Gospel Songs chart. The real voice behind Monet is Talisha Jones, a poet and designer who fed her ideas into AI music program Suno. Monet\u2019s public-facing appearance is also made by AI.<\/p>\n Kehlani took to TikTok to express her frustration. \u201cThere is an AI R&B artist who just signed a multi-million-dollar deal, and has a Top 5 R&B album, and the person is doing none of the work,\u201d the \u201cFolded\u201d singer said. \u201cI think you guys think that AI can just be the cover for something. Which some people can use, they can make an AI cover.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAI can also make the entire fucking song,\u201d she continued. \u201cIt can sing the entire song. It can make the entire beat\u2026This is so beyond out of our control. Nothing and no one on Earth will ever be able to justify AI to me.\u201c Kehlani furthers goes on to say she doesn’t “respect” AI or its usage, saying it diminishes the hard work of people who do everything themselves.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

There are different types of AI music, and the most common types are artists who use AI for parts of the song ranging from generating lyrics to drum patterns, music that is entirely generated by AI \u2014 oftentimes being fed references from original music to capture a particular style \u2014 and artists who create original music and use an AI persona instead of their real identity. In some cases, musicians even sing and feed their voices through an AI generative software that can change how it sounds.<\/p>\n Freddie Gibbs also had something to say about artists using AI to write their lyrics. “Look at AI rap now man. I don’t even believe nobody that write […] I don’t even believe if you even really make it anymore cause I done been in studios with motherfuckers and mutherfuckers is ChatGPT s**t and I’m like, \u2018What in the fuck?’ Like damn, how long am I gonna be able to do this shit? Cause I’m actually making fresh shit.”<\/p>\n He continued, “How long am I going to be able to do it when there’s muthafuckers in the studio typing into a computer to get their music […] We in a lazy day and age, man. Heart is dying and you got to ask a computer to write your lyrics, s**t is wack.”<\/p>\n And this is not the first case of AI music finding its way to the mainstream. Capitol Records came under fire in 2021 after signing an AI rapper named FN Meka<\/a>. More recently, a popular band on Spotify, The Velvet Sundown<\/a>, was revealed to be entirely AI-generated.<\/p>\n <\/a> FN Meka Is Just the Beginning: The Problem With Augmented Reality Artists<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> How Will AI Impact The Future of Music?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Freddie Gibbs Criticizes AI Usage in Hip-Hop: \u2018We in a Lazy Day and Age\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Chris Brown Deactivates Instagram After ‘Miss Me With Colorist Rage Baiting’ Post<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Curtis Daniel III Reflects on PatchWerk Recording Studios\u2019 Impact and 30-Year Legacy<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated News<\/h3>\n
