AI-Generated Grimes Song Jokes Newsweek

by Dissing Elon Musk

 

 

 

 

“People will just kind of automatically assume it’s real.”

A former Vine star has made fun of her well-known ex and drawn attention to the dangers of the developing technology by using Grimes’ AI.

Rolling Stone claims that rapper and influencer Elijah Daniel “featured” Claire “Grimes” Boucher on his latest single, “Nuisance,” by using her Elf Tech AI. But Daniel kept everyone in the dark until after the fact about the artificial intelligence (AI) voice in the teaser video that was posted to TikTok.

“I’ve been there, you know you want to. In the song, Boucher’s impersonated voice can be heard saying, “I got the vision, call me Wanda.” “I prefer a Honda, screw a Tesla. And double entendre, fuck an X.”

Daniel is no stranger to trolling; he is most renowned for being arrested by the Secret Service for hurling a glittering two-foot dildo at Donald Trump during one of the former president’s 2016 rallies.

Daniel sought the assistance of Grimes’ AI for this stunt, which represents the influencer’s comeback to social media following his mother’s death from COVID-19 in 2021 and his own diagnosis of epilepsy. He also solicited the support of a friend who looks remarkably similar to the two-time Elon Musk baby mama.

Not-Grimes is seen strolling around with the influencer in the video that was uploaded to Daniel’s TikTok account earlier this week. At one point, the lookalike flips a white Tesla with both hands as the two approach it.

As RS points out, the AI troll performed so well that Newsweek initially believed it to be real.

Nevertheless, Daniel skillfully set up that one by using Grimes’ real voice from her AI and a likeness in his now-viral teaser.

The thirty-year-old shock jock told RS, “Everything that I do is generally so outrageous and stupid that it would make sense for me to do it, but I wanted to see how many people would believe it off the bat.” “People will just kind of automatically assume it’s real.”

Given how effectively the trolling attempt worked (and, to be honest, we were also duped when we first saw the video), Daniel’s most recent online sensation has definitely supported his point.

“I would love to say the majority of people are smart enough to not fall for AI misinformation,” said the newspaper, “but they’re falling for human misinformation so I’m not sure adding a supercomputer behind it is going to help.”

Although neither Musk nor Grimes have addressed the song or its video to date, it’s plausible that Boucher would approve of it given how thrilled she was about other Elf Tech uses.
