A captivating conundrum: Mike Tyson and Prince Jackson get candid about AI music

In a recent episode of Hotboxin, Prince Jackson offered a thought-provoking perspective on AI music copying his father’s voice. According to him while technology has come leaps and bounds it still hasn’t been able to capture his father’s unique voice perfectly. Moreover, he also puts forward some interesting questions about the ownership of voices since AI’s mainstream popularity.

“I’ve seen, at least with the AI for my dad, that he had something so magical in his voice that I don’t think the computer has been able to capture just yet. But it’s so interesting from the entertainment industry, the music side of things, right? Because what does that mean for artists moving forward? You know, do you own your voice? It’s just a very interesting conversation. “ he said.

Tyson, with his signature candor, waded into the conversation. He cast the issue in an elemental light – the essence of nature itself and how a person should be the owner of their voice. “From a nature perspective, I should own my voice. Just for actual living, I should own this.”  he said.

However, using technology on music which has shaped clusters and societies for thousands of years can in turn be detrimental. In addition, the technology has not yet been refined to mimic the melodies of some iconic artists.
