Artificial Intelligence (AI) has several pros and cons<\/a>, but a newly-surfaced video of Tupac has fans ready to boycott the technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the video, the late rapper<\/a> is shopping in Target with \u201cfans\u201d asking for a few pictures. \u201cY\u2019all really gonna follow me through the lotion aisle, huh?\u201d he says. Despite many still boycotting Target<\/a>, most of the commenters were equally distressed.<\/p>\n One person described the video as \u201cso disturbing and disrespectful!\u201d Another teased, \u201cI know some auntie on Facebook fell for this video saying PAC alive\u2026AI is scary<\/a> man.\u201d Someone else wrote, \u201cIf they are confident enough to release this type of technology to the public\u2026. Just imagine what else they got behind the scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n AI Pac comes in the midst of fake videos and photos <\/a>of other public figures including Michael Jackson and Martin Luther King Jr. making rounds online.<\/p>\n Back in May, Snoop Dogg\u00a0admitted he was against the idea of collaborating with an AI-version<\/a> of the slain rapper<\/a>. He told Okayplayer<\/a>, <\/em>\u201cWhen we made records, we sat next to each other. We didn\u2019t battle each other, but we was on each other\u2019s head like, \u2018Say some dope s**t,\u2019 and then go in the booth, and he\u2019s in there cheering me on, and I\u2019m cheering him on.\u2019 AI can\u2019t give you that s**t. That n***a\u2019s a robot.\u201d<\/p>\n Coincidentally, it was Snoop who performed with a hologram of Pac <\/a>at Coachella back in 2012.<\/p>\n Back then, the now CEO of Death Row Records<\/a> and Dr. Dre joked about taking the hologram Tupac out on tour. TMZ<\/a> <\/em>reported that Dre had to request permission from Pac\u2019s mother, Afeni Shakur<\/a>, to use the hologram and as a thank you, he donated to the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation<\/a>, which is currently ran by Pac\u2019s sister <\/a>following Afeni\u2019s death<\/a> in 2016.<\/p>\n More from VIBE.com<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Vibe’s Newsletter<\/a>.
