I do that all the time. I can’t read, I can’t spell sh*t,” Tyson admitted saying. According to Tyson, using AI has made his life easier since he has difficulty in reading and writing. However, in this connection, Ne-Yo spoke about the next step which he branded as “crazy”. According to the R&B artist, after getting a song written in the form of Ne-Yo, one could even get it recorded in the voice of Ne-Yo himself, using another application with a simple click. “But then the next step is crazy sh*t. So, after you get your song written in Ne-Yo form, you can then go to another app and get Ne-Yo’s voice to sing the song,” thus the “So Sick” singer added saying.
