"The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where he performed the song with Elton John.
Ed Sheeran has shared his thoughts on the use of artificial intelligence in music, calling the technology “weird”.The ‘Subtract’ singer-songwriter spoke about AI during a recent interview with Audacy, which took place at the Hard Rock Hotel in New York City.Towards the end of the conversation, Sheeran was asked whether he had seen any of the music-orientated AI projects that are becoming increasingly popular across social media.“What I don’t understand about AI is like, for the last 60 years, Hollywood movies have been telling you, ‘Don’t do it’.
And now everyone’s doing it,” he responded. “And I’m just like, ‘Have you not seen the movies where they kill us all?'”Sheeran continued: “Also, I just don’t know why you need it – if you’re taking a job away from a human being, I think that’s probably a bad thing.“The whole point of society is we all do jobs.
