这是继近来AI女演员蒂莉·诺尔伍德“出道”的消息后，人工智能再次轰动娱乐圈。据美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）报道，莫奈凭借多首单曲登上“公告牌”多个榜单，成为“已知首位凭借足够的电台播放量登上公告牌榜单的AI歌手”。

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and the music charts are no different. According to CNN, an AI singer named Xania Monet is "the first known AI artist to earn enough radio airplay to debut on a Billboard radio chart."

这一消息再次引爆全网对于人工智能参与艺术行业的讨论，有些网友表示疑惑：AI歌手真的会受到听众欢迎吗？

然而，在莫奈的社媒Instagram主页可以看到，“她”坐拥超过15万粉丝，受众之广远超众人想象。

据CNN报道，莫奈这个“角色”由来自美国的诗人泰利莎·妮基·琼斯设计打造，歌词由她创作，再借助生成式AI音乐创作软件演绎歌曲。

Monet was designed by Telisha Nikki Jones, a poet from Mississippi who writes the lyrics Monet is seen performing with help from Suno, "a generative artificial intelligence music creation program," the bio explains.

莫奈的音乐风格主打当代节奏布鲁斯（R&B），其音乐表现力丰富，承袭了基莎·可儿（Keyshia Cole）等歌手一脉相承的特质：既有教堂音乐的深厚底蕴，还很“接地气”。

It is reported that Monet is an AI figure presented as a contemporary R&B vocalist in the great expressive, church-bred, down-to-earth vein of Keyshia Cole, K. Michelle, and Muni Long.

AI歌手的“成功”再引争议

自2025年夏季以来，莫奈先后发布了多首大热歌曲，并且登上了热门福音歌曲榜、热门R&B歌曲榜等多个“公告牌”榜单，打破了音乐行业流传的“AI无法制作出受人类欢迎的音乐”的说法。

Since first releasing a song in summer 2025, Monet has appeared on multiple Billboard charts, including the Hot Gospel Songs and the Hot R&B Songs chart.

如今，莫奈与知名唱片公司签下了一份价值数百万美元的唱片合约。短短几个月内，她先是推出了收录24首歌曲的全长专辑《Unfolded》，随后又推出了包含7首歌曲的EP《Pieces Left Behind》，创作效率之高让很多人惊叹。

Now, she's been signed to a multimillion-dollar record deal with Hallwood Media after what Billboard called "a bidding war." Monet released a full-length album "Unfolded" in August, which had 24 songs, followed by a seven-track EP "Pieces Left Behind" in September.

见证了莫奈的“成功”，人类歌手们坐不住了。美国歌手柯兰妮（Kehlani）在社交媒体直言：“一位AI歌手签下数百万美元合约，却什么都没做，这完全超出了我们的控制范围。”

莫奈的经纪人罗梅尔·墨菲却表示，“人工智能不会取代歌手，这根本不是我们的目标。它不会削弱创造力，也不会剥夺人类的经验。”他说，“这是一个新的领域，就像任意变革一样，总有人乐于接受，有人心存顾虑。”

"There is an AI R&B artist who just signed a multimillion-dollar deal … and the person is doing none of the work," Kehlani said of Monet in a now-deleted video posted to TikTok. "This is so beyond out of our control."

Romel Murphy, Monet's manager, insisted that there is no intent to replace human singers and songwriters.

"AI doesn't replace the artist. That's not our goal at all. It doesn't diminish the creativity and doesn't take away from the human experience," he said. "It's a new frontier and like anything that would change, some people are receptive and some people are apprehensive."

实际上，除了本次因登榜而大火的莫奈，不少AI歌手也开始“崭露头角”。比如今年出道的国产AI歌手Yuri尤栗，据凤凰网科技报道，其发布的歌曲《Surreal》（《超现实》）全网的播放量已达700万；再比如AI说唱歌手柒月，参与了许多热门歌曲的演唱。

在CNN看来，莫奈不会是最后一位登上“公告牌”的AI歌手。据“公告牌”榜单的数据显示，过去几个月已有至少6位AI或AI辅助艺人登上榜单，并且这个数字可能会越来越高，因为人们愈发难以判断，哪些音乐是由人工智能所制作或参与制作的。

Billboard recently reported that "in just the past few months, at least six AI or AI-assisted artists have debuted on various Billboard rankings." The publication noted that this figure could be higher, as it's become increasingly difficult to tell who or what is powered by AI — and to what extent.

对此，莫奈的经纪人罗梅尔·墨菲不认为有太大问题。他提到已故音乐巨星迈克尔·杰克逊和普林斯：“他们的音乐作品库仍在跨越时空不断扩充。尽管他们已离我们而去，年轻一代依然在听那些经典歌曲，并通过音乐与他们建立联结。这恰恰证明了音乐本身的永恒魅力——即便不曾亲历他们的时代、未曾体验过他们的现场演唱会，年轻听众依然热爱这些歌曲。”

"They both have music catalogs that are expanding decades to this day. Youth are still listening to those songs and they’re no longer with us and they’re connected to their music," Murphy said. "So it is the music because they don’t have the history of the contact or the concert live field, but they still love those songs."

他认为，“音乐也必须不断进化。”

"Music has to evolve as well."

对于AI音乐，你怎么看？
