Ariana Grande knows something has changed within the creative world.
The Wicked star recently weighed in on the way artificial intelligence has expanded the scope of fan-created art—which was recently demonstrated in an edited movie poster Ariana’s costar Cynthia Erivo slammed for mimicking the original musical poster in which Elphaba’s face is hidden in shadow.
The perceived slight was also accompanied by another creation of an AI-generated movie poster that depicted Ariana and Cynthia fighting. Now, the “7 Rings” singer reflected on the entry of AI into the fan art space.
“I think it’s very complicated because I find AI so conflicting and troublesome sometimes, but I think it’s just kind of such a massive adjustment period,” she told Variety at the Academy Museum Gala Oct. 19. “This is something that is so much bigger than us, and the fans are gonna have fun and make their edits.”
But on the notion some art can go too far, Ariana added, “I think so. I have so much respect for my sister, Cynthia, and I love her so much. It’s just a big adjustment period.”
