An unexpected enemy for Gerry Scotti. Yesterday Wednesday 22 May 2024 the singer Anderson .Paak published a video tribute made via Instagram on Instagram artificial intelligence in which you can see (and hear) the host singing his song “Heart don’t stand a chance”. For social media this is certainly nothing new (songs with the voice of “Uncle Gerry” have been circulating for a long time now), but the American artist said he was fed up with these operations and had strong words on the AI issue. Let’s find out what happened and all the details.
Anderson .Paak vs. Gerry Scotti: the story
In recent years, as mentioned, social media has become populated with photos, videos and music retouched with the help ofartificial intelligence: between vocal synthesizers and videos deepfakeespecially up Instagram And TikTok Content of this type has been circulating for years. The voice of Gerry Scotti it is without a doubt one of the most popular and viral in Italy and you can hear it in all its forms, so much so that last Christmas a record was even released, “Gerry Christmas”, made entirely with AI.
Yesterday, Wednesday 22 May 2024, however, something unthinkable happened. Anderson .Paak has published on his official Instagram profile a video where it can be seen Gerry Scotti as the artist’s entire band (obviously through the use of artificial intelligence) sing his hit”Heart don’t stand a chance” released in 2016. The performance from a 2017 concert for NPR Radio’s Tiny Desk series combined with the iconic voice of the host of The wheel of fortune it was certainly not a particularly welcome tribute to Anderson .Paak (who presumably cannot know “Uncle Gerry” nor his programs), who took advantage of the opportunity to lash out the use of artificial intelligence. “Now they’ve crossed the line with this AI bullshit” thundered the singer, evidently Fed up of this content created via AI.
The reaction of social media
Among the “illustrious” comments on Anderson .Paak’s incredible post there are obviously many Italian characters. From the singer Ghemon (who writes “What a time to be alive”) to the rapper Mistaman (“The thin line between tacky and Andersontacky”) up to Joan Thielethere was certainly no shortage of them amused reactions of the public.
