‘How do I fight with that?’: Stefanie Sun issues gloomy response to popularity of ‘AI Stefanie Sun’

Chinese video platform Bilibili has been flooded with covers of songs by various AI versions of Sun, which replicate the 44-year-old Singaporean singer’s voice.

After days of keeping quiet, Sun – who has not released an album since 2017 – issued a response lamenting her AI voice taking over her own, referencing a viral incident in 2021 when she was referred to as an “obscure singer” by a Chinese netizen.

In a post published on her blog, she muses: “My fans have officially switched sides and accepted that I am indeed an ‘obscure singer’ while my AI persona is the current hot property. I mean really, how do you fight with someone who is putting out new albums in the time span of minutes?”（本段为发音精讲部分，具体语音讲解请微信关注【可可英语晨读公众号】）

She acknowledges that she may be getting ahead of herself in terms of assuming what AI can do, but points out that it has the potential of creating catered content specific to everyone’s preferences.

“You are not special, you are already predictable, and also unfortunately malleable,” she says, somewhat gloomily.

While her blog post paints a dark future for artistes in the looming era of AI, Sun ends on an empowering note. She writes: “In this boundless sea of existence, where anything is possible, where nothing matters, I think... that being exactly who you are will be enough.”
