 Artificial intelligence might be taking over right now, but Ed Sheeran has no time for it at all. The Grammy-winning star, 32, weighed in with his thoughts on AI, admitting he finds the advanced tech 'weird'. Speaking with Audacy's Bru during a private concert at the Hard Rock Hotel in New York, the Lego House hitmaker vented. 'What I don't understand about AI is like, for the last 60 years, Hollywood movies have been telling you, 'Don't do it.' And now everyone's doing it,' he said. 'Have you not seen the movies where they kill us all?' Fair point, Ed. The singer finds AI 'a bit weird' and, honestly, same (Picture: Debra L Rothenberg/WireImage) Ed went on: 'Also, I just don't know why you need it – if you're taking a job away from a human being, I think that's probably a bad thing. 'The whole point of society is we all do jobs. If everything is done by robots, everybody's gonna be out of work.' 'I just find AI a bit weird,' he declared. There's no denying that AI has accomplished some pretty crazy things in recent years, especially with music and TV. In fact, it's nearly impossible to go onto TikTok now and not come across a video of your favourite musician singing another person's song – and it can sound very realistic. Take Johnny Cash for example, who sang Barbie Girl recently. AI has taken over the world in recent years, with Abba creating their own performing holograms (Picture: PA) Ok, not the actual Johnny Cash, given that he died 20 years ago. However, thanks to the wonders of technology, fans were able to enjoy his cover of Aqua's 1997 hit as one internet user edited it to sound incredibly lifelike. Yep, people can now get to hear the American crooner singing, 'Come on, Barbie, let's go party' in the most mind-boggling audio you can imagine. But it doesn't end there, as Homer Simpson's voice has also been used in an edit, replacing Arctic Monkeys' frontman Alex T){kind=link}
