What exactly did America’s Sweetheart do to spark the ire of people online? Well, the singer has come under fire for comments she made in support of AI music. During a recent appearance on Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang’s Las Culturistas podcast, Clarkson called ChatGPT her “lover” and explained how the platform helped her plot interior design plans at her Santa Barbara home.
Later, during the podcast’s “I Don’t Think So, Honey” hot-take segment, the singer doubled down: “I love AI. There are very amazing things with AI that I am obsessed with,” she said. Clarkson went into more detail about her thoughts on the technology: “I’m very into it artistically, too.
I have fun with it just like everybody else does. But when you see AI artists competing on a chart with humans, I have an issue. I think there should be a separate chart.” Clarkson added, “People that maybe can’t do certain things will be able to do it now … it’s a fun field like to play but I don’t think that they should be competing with humans.” Following those comments, the anti-clanker internet is up in arms over what they thought was an uncharacteristically bad take from Clarkson.
One X user surmised that Clarkson was part of a bigger plot by celebrities to get behind the technology. The comments under the podcast episode also admonished Clarkson for her comments.

I hope she gets more educated about the costs of AI.” Some critics even warned that Clarkson had lost her status as a beloved musician with the comments: “Her undoing years of being America’s sweetheart with this statement…. What are we doing sister,” they wrote on X. Most critics focused on the harmful nature behind artificial intelligence and how it’s threatening the arts.
