Legendary producer Pete Rock has joined Young Guru, Drake, Universal Music and others who are concerned over artificial intelligence and its place in music.
In a recent series of tweets, the "T.R.O.Y." producer expressed his frustrations. "F%ck AI! there is nothing better than a soul driven human being," he posted on yesterday (4/17). "That’s something a stupid robot can never ever capture. We create our music with real thinking and original ideas. No copycat machine can ever replace what's real and in the blood from real people.Humans!!!!"
In a tweet a few days earlier, he shared similar sentiments. "AI is mad disrespectful and if yall don't see that but think this AI stuff is dope then you are a part of the problem", he said. "They can't beat black culture so what do they do when they can't measure natural talent? Silly shit like AI! AI is such a cowardly act that bears no real soul or feeling."
