An AI nominated for a Grammy Award?

Singing the voices of Drake and The Weeknd generated by artificial intelligence, a music track is a candidate for one of the most prestigious competitions in the music industry.

After works of art assisted by artificial intelligence (AI), it is perhaps also a piece of music of the same ilk that will win a competition against real artists. And not just any competition since it was at the 2024 Grammy Awards (ceremony scheduled for early 2024) that the song Heart on my Sleeve was submitted, sung by Drake and The Weeknd, or rather their two voices generated by a program of 'AI.

Who is Ghostwriter977?

Submitted in the categories of Best Rap Song and Song of the Year (so far, eh), the track was composed by the mysterious Ghostwriter977 and created a buzz when it went viral last April. It did not take long for it to be removed from the main platforms - Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and SoundCloud among others - for fear of reprisals from the ape artists.

However, since Since it was composed by a human and not by a ChatGPT type program, the song is eligible for participation in the Grammy Awards. In any case, this is what Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy which organizes the Grammy Awards, says. It remains to be seen whether imitating the voices of real artists will not hamper the procedure. Source: Variety
