During a Tuesday interview with 'The Breakfast Club,' Rapper Ice Cube expressed his concerns about the future of artificial intelligence (AI) -- saying it is "wack."
“I think it’s wack,” Ice Cube said, as previously reported by Breitbart News. “I think it’s the worst sh*t ever. I think it’s gonna put a lot of people out of business and out of work. Everything is gonna be more vanilla. It’s not gonna be more creative. It’s actually gonna go the other way.... People are gonna get lazier. Nobody’s gonna work hard and nobody’s gonna attain the knowledge so they can write it down. They’re just gonna ask for the knowledge. People are just gonna get stupider."
There are a number of concerns raised by the innovations of contemporary AI technology. Of course, AI is, as it were, a nose of wax. It is inherently pliable and malleable, depending on the arbitrary will of the user. Someone can use AI to perform meaningful tasks -- for instance, a lawyer may be able to use AI technology to proofread a contract. But someone can also use AI to avoid putting the work in, work that so often creates the great men in history. Ice Cube is worried that the human element of music is at stake if AI is genuinely to rule the day.
This is not the first time Ice Cube has addressed the growing prevalence of Artificial Intelligence in the music industry. During an appearance on the 'Full Send' Podcast in May, Ice Cube told viewers, "The artists are getting lost in auto-tunes, and now that you have an AI computer. I think people don’t want a computerized rapper no more. They want to hear your voice. I don’t know any rappers by their voice no more. I used to know all the rappers just on hear their voice. Know who that is."
"So, I think they need to figure out how to put that auto-tune down, and we need to hear what people sound like and if they’re as good. Because I think AI is demonic. I think AI is gonna get a backlash from real people — real, organic people. So, I think artists need to go back to using their real voice and making sure people know this is authentic and not made from a computer," Ice Cube said, as previously reported by Fox News Digitial.
These concerns must be addressed as the human race adapts to the ever-growing list of innovations surrounding AI technology.
