Alice Cooper has issued a stark warning about the future of rock music, claiming artificial intelligence is now capable of creating fully‑formed rock stars who don't actually exist - and could even release hit albums without a single human emotion behind them.
Appearing on SiriusXM's Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, the 78-year-old shock rock legend said the technology has advanced so far that a convincing, marketable artist could be generated from scratch.
He explained: "Well, here's the deal. I could right now create a rock star. I could create a Yungblud, a guy that's really appealing, rock, tough, cool looking. I could create a guy named - I don't care - Starboy or whatever, and make him look great. He doesn't actually exist."
