Dr. Dre Says AI Haters Sound Like Drum Machine Haters
Dr. Dre just told the New York Times he's all in on AI as a production tool, comparing it to the drum machine or synthesizer: new tech people once feared, then embraced. He said he uses AI to remix his own work and see "what it would do," and claims he's far from alone, outing fellow Grammy winner Timbaland as a "closet AI producer" too scared to admit it publicly. The comments land as Spotify and Apple Music prep AI-artist labels amid growing backlash over AI slop flooding music platforms.
Nothing says artistic integrity like producers ghostwriting through a chatbot in secret.
