Kelly Clarkson loves AI. People online do not love her for that.

Kelly Clarkson, a beloved celebrity, recently expressed her admiration for artificial intelligence (AI), causing controversy among her fans. During an appearance on the Las Culturistas podcast, Clarkson jokingly referred to the chatbot ChatGPT as her "lover" and declared her love for AI. She explained how she uses AI as a digital interior designer and finds artistic enjoyment in it as well.

Clarkson also mentioned that AI could provide a new entry point for those who want to create music or art but may not have the skills. However, she drew a line at AI-generated music competing with human musicians, arguing that there should be a separate chart for AI artists. This stance led to swift backlash from fans and AI critics who criticized her enthusiasm for AI and questioned her dedication to human creativity.

Despite the controversy, Clarkson has not completely dismissed human artistry and maintains that both AI-generated and human-created music can be creative in different ways. Her comments highlight the complex and sometimes disruptive impact of AI on the creative process.
