Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor has revealed that he “can’t stand” AI-generated music.Speaking to Kerrang! Radio to promote his new solo album ‘CMF2’, Taylor was asked if he had heard the viral AI-generated duet of ‘Black Eyes Blue’ by him and Rihanna and what he thought of AI music.Taylor shared that he hadn’t heard the track, rolling his eyes in the process. “I don’t care for any of that crap dude, to be honest.

I don’t know what people are trying to prove. Are they trying to prove that computers can do things just as good as people? Because if so, then what’s the point?,” he replied.Taylor continued: “It’s an even worse example of technology taking over for talent than what I’ve been ranting about for years about Pro Tools and tuning and using the same fucking sounds”.“And people keep going ‘Oh, isn’t it cool?’ I’m like ‘No, it’s not cool’.

What are you, out of your mind? What, suddenly now we don’t have any talent? The only thing we’re going to get that sounds cool and new is from something that doesn’t even exist?

Screw you, man.”“Every time people get stoked in front of me about AI, I go ‘you’re not talking to the right person. You need to go over that way and talk to a dipshit who doesn’t care’ because I hate it.
