On Thursday, the singer Ella \u201cLorde\u201d O\u2019Connor took to Instagram<\/a> to share a screenshot of the \u201cAbout the Song\u201d summary of one of her songs. In the screenshot, the AI feature can be seen declaring that \u201con her Ultrasound World Tour, Lorde turns Current Affairs,\u201d a song off of O\u2019Connor\u2019s most recent album, \u201cinto a full-on performance piece, stripping down to underwear while a dancer pours water over her stomach so the song plays out like the shower scene she talks about on stage.\u201d According to a blurb at the bottom of the summary, it drew information from<\/a> the Australian outlet The Music<\/em>, which reviewed O\u2019Connor\u2019s tour.<\/p>\n

But according to O\u2019Connor\u2019s Instagram story, this isn\u2019t true \u2014 that performance happens in her show, but in a different song. There was an inaccuracy in The Music\u2019s <\/em>review, and that made its way into Spotify\u2019s AI summary.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only is this inaccurate (not the song I did that in),\u201d O\u2019Connor wrote in the caption of the Instagram story, \u201cbut reducing a song to an AI-generated meaning right at the source feels like it limits free interpretation [in my opinion]. At least make it possible for artists to opt out please.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
