I understand your logic and maybe I'm wrong but here's the reasons I think it's not AI. He said somethings that AI leakers wouldn't know especially shit about Kendrick's contracts that made him unable to drop albums. There are some vintage Drake lines and bars that he would typically say. It took little time to make by the sounds of it even though Drake said he made SC3 in 5 days, I do feel like being on tour and being irritated will make you say shit that is out of your character. Drake does have some strong unfinished mixing on his auto-tune sometimes, it reminds me of CLB that's why I think it's him. Lastly AI is still underdeveloped. There was one that dropped before that was AI and it was horrible. I do think it's possible to do such imitation of Drake but it would've of taken longer for AI to learn Drake's voice. I'm going from the little knowledge I have of how AI learns to make these vocal deepfakes. Also there was a podcast from before the leak from someone who apparently had Intel and he knew the title of the diss, he said it's "drop em and give em 50", that's the strongest point for me.
@X_PaimoN_x6 ай бұрын
