Kid Rock Reveals He Used AI on New Song with Eminem

In an interview on Real Time with Bill Maher, Kid Rock revealed he utilized artificial intelligence to create a choir for his song "Heal My Faith." The Christian artist explained that he employed AI prompts to achieve the effect, which he admitted was primarily driven by his time constraints. "I’m an impatient guy," Kid Rock stated. "It’s not about the money of getting a choir. But everything I look at in life now is time. How much time do I have?"

Maher challenged Kid Rock on the implications of using AI to replace human workers, asking, "A lot of people in a choir, and we put them all out of work. Isn’t that what really happened?" Kid Rock responded that it wasn't necessary to employ a choir in the first place, comparing the situation to when The Beatles used a choir and whether drummers were put out of work when drum machines were invented.

The host acknowledged the novelty of AI technology, likening it to a tool, but emphasized the need for regulation. Kid Rock reiterated that he sees AI as a beneficial resource for musicians, highlighting that the AI choir in "Heal My Faith" was the only instance where he used the technology.
