I’m an Artist, and I’m Not Threatened by AI

“If you want to hear what Metallica’s ‘Enter Sandman’ would sound like as yacht rock, or how Freddie Mercury might sound covering Frank Sinatra’s ‘My Way,’ all you have to do is a quick Google search or run a new AI music generation app and you can instantly hear it for yourself. Or, can you? For some, this newfound capacity of AI algorithms represents the death knell of human creativity. After all, if an AI can instantly compose a song, draft a novel, or create visual art tailored precisely to our whims, flawlessly executing artistic ideas without the talent, skill, and practice that humans require to do the same, what incentive remains for us mere mortals to even bother creating? But I think this profoundly misunderstands the purpose of art and creative expression.” (06/26/25)
