Battle Between Humans & AI Is Coming – Sting Warns
Last year, Sting said that a songwriting “battle” between musicians and AI is on the horizon.
The former Police singer compared artificial intelligence to “the way I watch a movie with CGI”, adding that the technology “doesn’t impress me at all”.
“The building blocks of music belong to us, to human beings”, he said. “That’s going to be a battle we all have to fight in the next couple of years: Defending our human capital against AI”.
He also added: “I imagine I will feel the same way about AI making music… Maybe for electronic dance music, it works. But for songs, you know, expressing emotions, I don’t think I will be moved by it”.
