It goes without saying that advancements in technology can help a lot of people. According to Lil Wayne, however, that's not always the case. During a recent appearance on Cam Heyward's podcast, Not Just Football, he was asked to share his thoughts on artificial intelligence (A.I.). He made it clear that he's a big fan of it, but not for the reasons one may expect. Apparently, his love for the tool is based purely on the fact that its skills pale in comparison to his.
"I love that A.I. is what it is," he explained. "I love to be able to stand right next to whoever A.I. is [...] and I know I'm still better."
Lil Wayne went on to recall using A.I. to generate a few verses, just to see what the results would be. "They all sucked," he admitted. The hitmaker says this only validated his belief that the technology could never replace him. He added that those in fear of losing their jobs to A.I. should simply focus on becoming better at whatever it is they do.
