Dr. Dre and Ice Cube clash over AI on the first episode of Listen & Laugh

On the debut episode of Ice Cube and Mike Epps' Listen & Laugh podcast, Dr. Dre said he's "extremely excited about AI" in music and film, compared it to sampling, and said the only people mad about it "are the people who aren't that creative." Ice Cube pushed back: he's fine with creators using AI as a tool, but not with people using it as a shortcut past the years of work a great record takes.

Dre told him, "You have to get used to it or you're gonna be left behind." The two former N.W.A groupmates agreed to disagree.
