Sunny Edwards is stunned by the AI-generated song of Drake

AI is the talk of the time. With time, AI has advanced in ways one can only dream of. AI can also now generate songs that are replicas of real musicians. @rpnickson took to Twitter where he shared a song that sounded just like Drake and the Weeknd. The Tweet stated, “Listen to this AI generated song featuring Drake & The Weeknd. It goes so damn hard. It’s by “Ghostwriter977″ on TikTok and it’s blowing up on socials + streaming platforms. UMG, which controls around 1/3 of the global music market, has already asked streaming platforms to ban AI. A modern Napster moment. Will be fascinating to watch this all unfold in real-time.”

Edwards who came across this just could not believe it. He responded to the Tweet by stating, “Nahhhhhh”.
