Sheryl Crow Criticizes Drake For Using AI-Generated Tupac In Kendrick Lamar’s Diss: “You Can’t Bring The Dead Back To Life”
In a notable move, female singer Sheryl Crow strongly criticized Drake for using AI-generated Tupac’s voice in a diss song by Kendrick Lamar. Crow believes that this is not only disrespectful but also violates ethics when using images of deceased artists.
Sheryl Crow, one of the most influential artists in the music industry, expressed her displeasure on social networks. “You cannot bring the dead back to life,” Crow wrote. “The use of AI-generated Tupac’s voice is hateful and unacceptable.”
Crow emphasized that reviving the voices of the deceased using AI technology is not only an act of commercialization but also a lack of respect for their memories. She urges artists and music producers to carefully consider the ethical implications of using this cutting-edge technology.
Public reaction to Crow’s criticism was varied. Many fans and colleagues in the music industry spoke out in support of her views, saying this was really disrespectful and inappropriate. “We cannot use technology to revive the dead just for entertainment or commercial purposes,” one fan wrote.
However, there are also opinions that using AI to recreate the voices of deceased artists is not a big deal and is just part of technological development. Some people believe that this can bring new experiences to the audience and should not be considered a negative act.
Drake and Kendrick Lamar have not yet officially responded to this incident. However, controversy surrounding the use of AI to recreate the voices of deceased artists will certainly continue in the future.
This incident has raised big questions about ethics and responsibility in the use of advanced technology in the music industry. Should we impose stricter regulations on the use of AI in art and entertainment? And is bringing the dead back to life using technology a step too far?
While waiting for an answer, this incident has created a major debate about the ethical and humane values in applying technology to artistic life.
