AI-Generated Drake and The Weeknd Song Submitted for Grammys: Eligibility Questioned

TL;DR Summary
An AI-generated song featuring facsimiles of Drake and The Weeknd's voices, titled "Heart on My Sleeve," has been submitted for Grammy consideration by Ghostwriter, the creator of the viral AI-generated track. While the song was written by a human, neither Drake nor The Weeknd were involved. However, the track's eligibility is in question due to copyright issues and the requirement for broad distribution. The Recording Academy clarified that AI-generated works are not eligible for awards, but if a human writes the track and AI is used for voice modeling, the writing would be eligible. The commercial viability of "Heart on My Sleeve" remains uncertain.
