From AJR on using Kits AI
What was said about Kits AI
AJR used Kits AI only to preview a demo in another voice. Ryan recorded a demo, and Kits AI made it sound like Jack singing. Jack then re-recorded the part himself, so the final vocal was human and no creativity was lost.
They used the voice tool only to hear a demo in the other brother's voice. They say the line is where AI starts replacing people.
AJR accept voice AI as a tool but see replacing the artist as betrayal. Jack says AI tends to average voices, blending Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish and Miley Cyrus into a middle with no point of view. They expect work to get more personal and human as a result.
Jack's phrase: "find some nebulous middle of all the artists that doesn't have a POV". For their album cover, they rejected pieces that looked too AI.
