The Rolling Stones used AI to de-age themselves for a new single, making that a vanity project. I posted a GD thread

2. I've heard about it but not seen it. That said, my initial response is consistent with my

general view of AI when it comes to music and the artists it can potentially "rob" of their creative rights--likewise the consumers who may not know it was not created through a true human creative process. And that is generally a vehement dislike. That said, there was a country performer (Randy Travis? ) whose diseased physical state precludes him from performing but who had work in progress that he approved AI to complete using his voice. I may not have all those facts correct, but close. At any rate, I did not have an issue with that.

So, in keeping with that last point, I suppose when the artists involved ALL agree to its use AND openly and clearly indicate the AI inclusion, I am less disgusted about its use, but I still don't want it to become a "trend." In this case, it is more a one time "gimmick" for a band who, frankly has earned a lot of latitude given their longevity and the fierce loyalty TO and FROM their fans, so I'm not going to criticize their use of it in this instance.
