Kid Rock has a surprising view on AI music. While other artists are scared, he sees it as a big chance. He told Glenn Beck that AI can make hundreds of songs with his voice. If any of them blow up, he’ll just play them at his concerts. He compared AI to the old days of Napster, saying he makes his real money on the road, not from streams.
The country rocker isn’t losing sleep over AI taking jobs. He met with tech folks and musicians to talk about apps like Suno. He said Spotify already hides AI tracks in playlists to dodge royalty payments. But Kid Rock thinks it’s smart business. He even joked about letting fans write songs for him using his AI voice. “Why not?” he said. “Let’s see what sticks.”
Elon Musk’s work with AI caught Kid Rock’s eye too. The two tested Musk’s Grok AI in a viral video. Kid Rock called it “bonkers fun” and praised Musk for shaking things up. He said AI could help him dig through budgets and contracts faster than any lawyer. Fans might not know it, but Kid Rock’s been investing in tech like Tesla for years. He’s all about staying ahead.
Some musicians worry AI will steal their sound. Not Kid Rock. He told Beck that lazy artists should blame themselves if AI outwrites them. He pointed out that the top AI songs are already beating human ones on charts. “We better get better as songwriters,” he laughed. For him, AI is just another tool, like a guitar or a drum machine.
The music industry is split on AI. Studios use it to bring back dead legends like John Lennon. But others fear fake tracks will flood the market. Kid Rock shrugs it off. He said streaming apps like Spotify will always find ways to cut costs. Artists who rely on handouts will get crushed. Real hustlers adapt and keep touring.
Kid Rock’s take is simple: don’t fear the future. Use it. He’s betting his voice and style are strong enough to survive the AI wave. If fans want computer-made Kid Rock jams, he’ll sell tickets to hear them live. No whining. No lawsuits. Just good old American hustle. That’s how you stay on top when the robots come knocking.
