"Dolly Parton isn't interested in living on through artificial intelligence.
The "Jolene" singer was asked about AI technology during a press conference in London where she appeared to promote her upcoming album "Rockstar."
She went on to say that ... she'll "have to decide on how much of that high-tech stuff I want to be involved in because I don't want to leave my soul here on this Earth."
With a laugh, Parton said she feels like with that kind of technology she'd be "grounded here forever, so when I'm gone I want to fly with it""
