JAŸ-Z Slams AI, Says to ‘Question Everything’ After SoFi Concert Criticism: ‘We Got Real Intelligence, Not Artificial Intelligence’
The Brooklyn rapper and mogul shot back at trolls online as he closed out his two-show stint in L.A.
Jay-Z expressed his concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on public perception during his closing performance at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Following a two-night show at the venue, the Brooklyn rapper and business mogul addressed online criticism regarding low resale ticket prices and the perceived poor audio quality of his JAŸ-Z30 Tour stops in Los Angeles.
While addressing the crowd, Jay-Z warned, "You gotta be very aware of what's going on in the world, right?" He emphasized that people should question everything they hear or see, especially in an era of rapidly advancing technology like AI. He pointed out that people might be misled by "tricknology" as AI can mimic human intelligence, but it can never be genuine.
Jay-Z highlighted the presence of several West Coast legends, including Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Too $hort during the concert, and asked the audience if they "felt" the energy. He concluded his statement with a challenge, "We feel, right? When Snoop and Dre came out, we felt that, correct? Too $hort, Bay Area." The message that "Machines are learning you," and that humans need to question everything, especially in today's world, was reiterated by Jay-Z.
