A song using the AI-generated voices of Drake and The Weeknd has been submitted to the Grammys,
00:06
and apparently the award show is accepting it.
00:09
AI has been the subject of numerous debates lately.
00:12
As the tech improves, there are more and more questions regarding what it means for humans
00:16
and their work, specifically artists.
00:19
The latest debate revolves around anonymous artist Ghostwriter's track "Heart on My
00:23
Sleeve," which contains an original track and lyrics, but borrows Drake and The Weeknd's
00:29
voices using AI.
00:30
A recording academy exec, Harvey Mason Jr., spoke on the song's submission, saying, "As
00:36
far as the creative side, it's absolutely eligible, because it was written by a human."
00:41
X users responded with a slew of questions, including who gets paid for the song, who
00:46
would be credited for the award, and if the song does deserve to be considered because
00:51
all the lyrics are original.
00:53
After releasing a different song using the voices of 21 Savage and Travis Scott, Ghostwriter
00:58
released a statement addressing the two artists, writing, "If you're down to put it out,
01:03
I will clearly label it as AI and I'll direct royalties to you.
01:07
Respect either way."
01:08
Mason seems unfazed by the advancement of AI, and summed up his sentiments by saying,
01:13
"Ghostwriter really has played an important role here, to bring awareness and attention.
01:17
We know AI is going to play a role in our business.
01:20
We can't pretend to turn our back on it and try to ban it."
