Midler, Tyrese Clash Over AI-Generated Song

Bette Midler slammed the AI-generated song Celebrate Me by IngaRose, calling it cultural genocide and accusing it of stealing from thousands of human artists with no compensation. IngaRose’s team says the lyrics are human-written, though the vocals and arrangement are produced with Suno’s AI technology. The track has achieved significant chart success, fueling a broader debate about AI in music. Tyrese Gibson pushed back, arguing that AI isn’t going away, defending the song as actually great and saying complaints only boost its popularity. Reactions in comments ranged from praise for Midler’s stance to support for the AI-produced track, with some critics calling AI-generated music soulless. The dispute highlights the tension between innovation and traditional artists’ rights as AI tools proliferate in the industry.
