Dr. Dre and Ice Cube squared off over AI in music. Dre argued sampling was once criticized too and artists must adapt to new tech or get left behind; Ice Cube disagreed, saying it bothers him that someone with no talent can type a prompt and recreate the work of legends without the creative process. The reposter adds a practical wrinkle: streaming platforms don't allow tracks with sampled vocals, constraining AI music commercialization.
