This interview is Ne-yo's best bars

[leadfarmer]

Neo spoke so much truth here👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thank you my brotha✊🏽

[HoodHandyman]

I respect that he is standing on what he said.

[RealCoachingCo]

This would piss me off no end too. The man is right.

[shaquilhiggins]

You can’t mimic Neyo! He inspired me personally

[Airbrushkid]

That is John's voice. They found a recording that John made. The problem was they had remove the back ground music. So they can rerecord it with Paul and Ringo.

What if someone were to try to recreate Janis Joplin’s vocals for Buried Alive In The Blues? Lyrics were written & instrumentals were recorded. But she never got to record her vocals (not even a demo vocal track) before she passed.

[akiofukuda]

I just simply agree with Neyo. Those guys worked so hard to be there. We should understand that.

[potatomatop]

bro, i miss his songs like Mad and ugh... Mad.

[brianmaxie]

This reminds me when Metallica was against Napster and people thought they were crazy.

When record labels decide that they no longer need to sign artist but can go to an engineer and have AI generate an album based on Beyoncé’s, Taylor Swift’s or Rolling Stones sounds and writing style then we will see the bigger issue.
When AI can write an entire script and create images for movies and tv shows and not employ actors, writers, editors etc. we will see.
When you are replaced at your job we will see.

[elmasheavy]

There are way more negatives then positives, when it comes to AI

[introvertsrock]

Artists with $$ & power need to use the influence to chg & protect
1. Ticketmaster: Artists need tell venues to stop using them
2. Like the issues Napster created, need to unite
3.

[fenaxtv]

I wonder if Lennon would like to be used that way. I doubt it, just because he is dead and can't defend himself, doesnt mean he can be used

[eldj]

I share Ne-Yo's point of view 100 %. We have to find a way of protecting humans and their creativity while looking for paths to use AI in useful ways

[therealchrislamont]

if you want to support the artist, go see them live, good luck pulling that off A.I.

[elmasheavy]

Know human beings, we always use great technologies for the wrong reasons.

[Pfree]

It’s how we all learn and every creature that ever lived. We mimicked those before us

[shredd]

He is absolutely right. When this starts to happen to enough people, people will get furious. When it happens to just creatives like artists, musicians... people don't care. They say "Get a real job then". People are selfish, as long as they aren't affected personally, they don't care. It's like a war in Africa, people don't care. They only start caring when war is on THEIR doorstep

The late polymath and futurist, Terence McKenna, said about AI in an interview 25 years ago, "If it doesn't have the ethics of Buddha, the human race may be down for the count." Ten, nine, eight...
AI has the ethics of its creators, i.e. pretty much devoid of any. The creators are overwhelmingly male with the wisdom and maturity of adolescent boys, which is how they typically stay into "adult"hood, as evidenced by countless comments I've seen online.
