Kelly Clarkson Says She ‘Loves AI’ — But Draws the Line at the Charts

Clarkson said AI can be a creative tool, but 1 in 4 music industry leaders are debating whether fully generated songs should compete on official charts.

  • During a recent appearance on the Las Culturistas podcast with Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, Kelly Clarkson argued that AI-generated music should have a separate chart, supporting AI creativity while opposing direct competition with human performers.
  • Calling AI "really cool and creative," Clarkson expressed enthusiasm for the technology and even referred to ChatGPT as "my lover," insisting there is an appetite for both human and AI-generated music.
  • After the Kellyoke performance of "Golden," critics debated whether Clarkson's "humans against AI" joke showed a double standard, given the song features fictional K-pop group HUNTR.
  • Chart SpaceThe Australian Recording Industry Association recently barred fully AI-generated recordings from its official charts, as the music industry grapples with AI and major record companies establish global principles for AI-assisted music.
  • As AI-generated music becomes more sophisticated, artists and audiences must decide where the boundary lies between technology as a tool and technology as a replacement for human creativity.
