Amy Sussman/Getty Images Jack Antonoff posted a journal entry on Instagram on Wednesday in which he slammed those who use AI to make music and art as “godless whores.”
“What we do has become and acient ritual,” wrote the 13-time Grammy winner. “You don’t have to write music, you don’t have to record it and you don’t have to bring out the band and play it. And yet for us, the idea of optimizing what we do is a complete miss of the entire point of what compels us in the first place. We (myself, the band and everyone I know, frankly) have never been looking for this work to become quicker or easier. We were never frustrated by the randomness and magic it takes. We do it for that exact reason – and without the process itself ::: nothingness.”
