Ice Cube vows to sue anyone who creates a “demonic” AI Ice Cube song

Ice Cube gave his thoughts on the state of modern rap during a recent appearance on the Full Send podcast, and the conversation inevitably turned to the genre's use of AI.

The verdict is decidedly negative. "I think AI is demonic," Cube says. "I think AI is gonna get a backlash from real people, real authentic people." He goes on to lump AI-generated music with vocalists that use Auto-Tune: "It's all starting to sound artificial because of AI."

"I think that's terrible," Cube says. "I don't wanna hear that bullshit.

He should sue whoever made it." When one of the podcast's hosts raises the prospect of an AI Ice Cube song, the rapper promises legal action against creators, streaming companies that host it, and even the listeners. "I'm gonna sue the motherfucker that make it too.

And the people and the platform that play it." While it's unclear what legal case (if any) that Cube would have against the listeners of AI-assisted music, music corporations have been successful in forcing streaming platforms to remove content that imitates their artists.
