JAŸ-Z Slams AI, Says to ‘Question Everything’ After SoFi Concert Criticism: ‘We Got Real Intelligence, Not Artificial Intelligence’

JAŸ-Z had a message for those online who tried to highlight low resale ticket prices and questioned whether or not his JAŸ-Z30 Tour stops in L.A. were any good.

The Brooklyn rapper and business magnate closed out his two-night performance at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, over the weekend with a public service announcement centered around AI and clapping back at social media trolls who claimed he couldn’t sell tickets or that the audio quality was bad.

“Y’all gotta be very aware of what’s going on in the world, right?” he told the crowd. “People will tell you that nobody was in here tonight, but you got eyes, you can see. People will tell you that the music wasn’t great, but you got ears. You gotta understand, you gotta question everything. In this world of AI and everything … it’s been going on forever. We called it propaganda before. But now, with the technology caught up and these people could trick — a lot of tricknology. … It’s called artificial intelligence because it’s mimicking you guys. It’s mimicking us. We got real intelligence, not artificial intelligence.”

He then continued by asking those in attendance if they “felt” when he brought out several West Coast legends, and ended his statement with some chest-thumping.

“We feel, right? When Snoop and Dre came out, we felt that sh–, correct? Too $hort, Bay Area,” Jay asked the audience. “Make sure you question everything. You feel. Machines are learning you. You tell ’em your swag, you tell ’em your name, you tell ’em the thing and it mimics you. It can’t be you. It could never be you, so question everything, especially in this days and age. Y’all feel me? They will tell you that Jigga ain’t Jigga. Hov is motherf—in’ Hov. Peace & love, Los Angeles. I love you!”

Jay’s Saturday show at SoFi Stadium was the last of eight concerts for his JAŸ-Z30 Tour, celebrating his 30 years in rap. The trek included three stops at New York’s Yankee Stadium, two nights at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, one night at Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France, and two nights at SoFi.
