Joe Budden Issues A Warning

Although Joe did not give proof or any names, he did say that he can tell the difference between an album made by a human soul and one that is governed by AI. Perhaps in the future, regular music listeners will begin telling the difference as well. For now, however, most mainstream artists have not let on to the alleged use of AI. While some have partnered with AI programs for one-off songs, whole albums have been a bit of a taboo. Only time will tell whether or not that completely changes.

Artificial intelligence will continue to be a hot topic of debate in the music world. Having said that, let us know what you think of AI, in the comments section below.
