“These and similar technologies are extremely valuable tools, but they are all under my control and I can grant or deny consent in a meaningful way.
“What is unacceptable is that, in the absence of proper legal regulations, my art and my identity can be easily stolen by third parties without my consent and misused for their own benefit. It’s a case.”
She added that her digital clone would be able to communicate in French, Korean and Japanese.
“That means we can really explain what that's going to be like creatively on the next album,” she said.
“It also allows you to spend more time creating art, which often requires a lot of press, publicity, and word-of-mouth, whether it's a music artist or an artist of this era.
“So if it's something simple that doesn't require a lot of heart, you can write a one-liner and give it to people to promote your work, and it's harmless, but in the end it's really worth it.” I can spend more time creating something that's meaningful to my fans.”
Furthermore, written evidence, externalshe says that her “AI twigs” will be introduced later this year and will “expand my reach while I continue to focus on my art from the comfort and ease of my studio, online and on social media.” It said it would be introduced “to handle interactions.”

“It makes me feel vulnerable, because first of all, as an artist, what I love about my work is that I'm very precise. I take my time with everything and I take great pride in my work.
“So someone could take my voice, change my lyrics, change my message, maybe work with artists I don't want to work with, or who I want to work with. Now that surprise has been ruined by the fact that I might be working with an artist who has done a lot of work.'' – It really makes me feel very raw and very vulnerable. ”
