Earlier this month, a few unreleased songs from Lil Uzi Vert and Juice WRLD went viral on Twitter.
At first glance, this seemed fairly normal. Rap songs leak all the time, after all. But this time, something was different. These songs weren’t entirely human: They were created with the help of artificial intelligence. Fans had taken low-quality snippets they found on the internet and used AI technology to turn them into full songs with much higher audio quality.
Naturally, the internet is divided about this. The comments under these videos range from “this sounds amazing” to “this feels wrong” to “delete this.”
There’s a lot of excitement about the possibilities of AI, and some fans are elated to get high-quality versions of snippets that they thought they’d never actually hear. But at what cost? Is AI technology progressing too fast?
