Artificial intelligence, which often leaves everyone speechless, came to the fore with a song that created great resonance on social media in recent months. A person with the username “Ghostwriter977” created a song called “Heart on My Sleeve” with artificial intelligence using the voices of Drake and The Weeknd. The song quickly became a trending topic on all social media. There were even people who thought that the song really belonged to this duo.
Today, there was an interesting development about this song created with artificial intelligence. It was revealed that Ghostwriter sent Heart on My Sleeve to the Grammys, the prestigious award ceremony of the music world.
The song is said to be eligible for awards because it was written by a human
According to Variety, the person named Ghostwriter sent the song to the Grammy Awards to be nominated in the “Best Rap Song” and “Song of the Year” categories. This move comes as discussions about artificial intelligence continue in the music industry. Artists were worried about the possibility of being replaced by technology.
Although the song has been removed from most platforms, it is said to be Grammy eligible. Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, which organizes the Grammys, told The New York Times that the song was appropriate for the ceremony because it was written by a human: “From the creative side, it’s absolutely appropriate because it was written by a human.”
The academy had set rules for songs created with artificial intelligence in recent months. The rules stated that only songs with a lot of human input could be accepted. This means that a song created by artificial intelligence may be considered eligible for nomination if the majority of it is written by humans. However, if it is written with a bot like ChatGPT, it will be banned. Ghostwriter follows the first rule because he wrote the song himself.
Although there is no information on whether Heart on My Sleeve will receive a Grammy nomination, we can say that this probability is low. Because the members of the Recording Academy who vote for the awards are unlikely to vote in favor of artificial intelligence.
Other artists besides Drake and The Weeknd are also being imitated
