Response to this claim
Boy George remained the song’s author because he wrote its lyrics and melody and used AI as a creative collaborator.
“The fact that no one made it, that it’s the creation of a machine that hallucinates in exchange for electricity, only intensifies the sick, empty feeling the track leaves behind.”
Bandcamp removed Boy George's “We Will Dance Again” under its policy barring music generated wholly or substantially by AI. He said he wrote the lyrics and melody, used AI as a collaborator, and remained the author; his claim that pro-Israel objections motivated removal remains unestablished.
