“They were trying to tell me that AI could make a voice that sounds just like me. But it’s not me, because I’m amazing. I’m like, is this AI thing going to be amazing too? Because I am naturally, organically amazing. I’m one of a kind. So actually, I would love to see that thing try to duplicate this motherf–ker.”

“What I don’t understand about AI is, for the last 60 years, Hollywood movies have been telling you, ‘Don’t do it.’ And now everyone’s doing it, have you not seen the movies where they kill us all?”

“I think it’s cool to be fused with a machine and I like the idea of open-sourcing all art and killing copyright. I’ll split 50% royalties on any successful AI-generated song that uses my voice, Same deal as I would with any artist I collab with. Feel free to use my voice without penalty. I have no label and no legal bindings.”

“AI as a tool in music-making is fine, but it's always going to be the humanity in music that makes people want to listen to it.”

"AI's going to be a part of our lives, and it's going to be something that kind of augments our own intelligence, our own collective intelligence. And that's fine, but when it comes to using someone's likeness, using their intellectual property, I believe our rights should still be protected."
