英国音乐人Boy George于2024年7月27日发布了一首AI生成的雷鬼歌曲《We Will Dance Again》，内容支持以色列，随即遭到广泛批评 [1]。该歌曲包含"你说种族灭绝，我说战争/当你遭到攻击时，这就是军队的作用"等歌词 [1]。
发布后不久，音乐分发平台Bandcamp以违反其禁止AI音乐的政策为由移除了Boy George的账户 [1]。Bandcamp在2024年1月发布的政策明确规定"在Bandcamp上不允许完全或实质上由AI生成的音乐和音频" [1]。
舆论压力随之波及Boy George的职业活动。他的经理Paul Kemsley因此将他从伦敦帕拉迪姆剧院的《耶稣基督万岁》演出中撤下，Kemsley表示"我认为应该适时退出，让制作本身成为关注焦点" [1]。65岁的Boy George随后与唱片公司经理Tony Pontius分手 [1]。在社交媒体X上，Boy George回应道："当某人表现得很没骨气时，说声再见真的不会很伤人" [1]。
British musician Boy George released an artificial intelligence-generated reggae song titled "We Will Dance Again" on July 27, 2024, which prompted swift professional consequences [1]. The track, which included lyrics stating "You say genocide, I say war / When you're attacked, that's what the army's for," drew criticism for its pro-Israel stance [1].
Music distribution platform Bandcamp removed Boy George's account, citing violations of its policy prohibiting music "generated wholly or in substantial part by AI," a guideline the platform established in January 2024 [1]. The 65-year-old artist accused the platform of capitulating to antisemitic pressure in response to the removal [1]. His manager, Paul Kemsley, withdrew him from a production of "Jesus Christ Superstar" at London's Palladium Theatre due to public backlash, stating "I felt it was right to step aside, allowing the production to remain the focus" [1]. Additionally, Boy George parted ways with record label manager Tony Pontius amid the controversy [1]. In response to these developments, Boy George posted on X: "When someone is gutless, it really does not hurt to say goodbye" [1].
