Dee Snider is best known for singing the classic rock tune 'We're Not Gonna Take It' with the band Twisted Sister, and now he can add artificial intelligence to the list of things he's willing to stand up against. The rocker called the developing AI trend 'terrifying' during a new interview with Fox News Digital, but he noted that there's a certain class of workers who likely won't be affected by its increasing popularity.
The musician also praised the recent bill that passed in Tennessee to protect singers' voice likenesses, dubbed the ELVIS Act.

'Honestly, it makes me wonder, when you take the necessity for humans to create out of the world, I don’t know if I want to see what the world looks like then,' he said. 'I think that’s when we’re all just sitting and not moving, and we only talk, and we’re just lying in a bed. So, I got to tell you, it weirds me out.
