Victoria Mon\u00e9t<\/a> is another artist who is against the music industry making space for AI<\/a>-generated artists. AI R&B singer Xania Monet<\/a> has become a topic of conversation since landing her\u00a0$3 million record deal<\/a>\u00a0in September.<\/p>\n As Blavity<\/a> reported, her single \u201cHow Was I Supposed to Know?\u201d from her EP Unfolded, along with other tracks from the project, helped build her fanbase and charted on Billboard\u2019s R&B Digital Song Sales chart. Others like Khalid, SZA, Kehlani and Morgan Freeman have spoken out against AI, with Mon\u00e9t being the latest to speak out against the use of AI.<\/p>\n During Mon\u00e9t\u2019s interview with Vanity Fair<\/a>, she shared that Xania Monet may cause confusion.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s hard to comprehend that, within a prompt,\u00a0my name was\u00a0not\u00a0used\u00a0for this artist to capitalize on,\u201d she told Vanity Fair. \u201cI don\u2019t support that. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s fair.\u00a0When that name starts to ring\u00a0bells in\u00a0a certain way,\u00a0it can easily be\u00a0mixed up\u00a0with\u00a0my brand.\u00a0It\u2019s not ideal.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt definitely puts creators in a dangerous spot because our time is more finite,\u201d the Grammy winner added. \u201cWe have to rest at night. So, the eight hours, nine hours that we\u2019re resting, an AI artist could potentially still be running, studying, and creating songs like a machine. How would any human ever compete with that?\u201d<\/p>\n Mon\u00e9t also suggested that AI artists \u201cshould be labeled \u2018artificial,\u2019 the same way that food is.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re introducing a tool with a lot of potential, but without the guidelines to protect the people who may be affected by it the most, which would be the creators,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n In a recent\u00a0interview with Gayle King<\/a>, poet Telisha \u201cNikki\u201d Jones, who is the woman behind Xania Monet, said she feels that the AI singer is an extension of herself. King quickly shut that down, saying she \u201ccan\u2019t sing\u201d though.<\/p>\n \u201cI wanted to reveal myself because I wanted people to know there was a real person behind Xania,\u201d Jones said. \u201cThat there\u2019s real emotion and soul put into those lyrics.\u201d<\/p>\n Jones added that she understood that being at the forefront of innovation can attract criticism, but that everything evolves.<\/p>\n \u201cAny time something new comes about and it challenges the norm and challenges what we\u2019re used to, you\u2019re going to get strong reactions behind it,\u201d Jones said<\/a>\u00a0in response to the backlash Xania Monet has received. \u201cAnd I just feel like AI is the new era that we\u2019re in, and I look at it as a tool, as\u00a0a instrument\u2026utilize it.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Victoria Mon\u00e9t Calls Out AI Singer Xania Monet For Partially Using Her Name And Likeness: \u2018Puts Creators In A Dangerous Spot\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Blavity<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nHow does Victoria Mon\u00e9t feel about AI singer Xania Monet?<\/h2>\n
