A known AI hater, Nick Cave has once again gone off on OpenAI's ChatGPT and its imitators being used to mimic real songwriting.

I admire Nick Cave a lot and value his opinion as a songwriter. He's absolutely right in calling it the "boundless machine of artistic demoralisation." What's more demoralizing than know ChatGBT could churn out a facsimile of your work, making a mockery of your artistic struggles and obsessions? All you have to do is listen to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (my fave album is Tender Prey) to see that he was exorcising something deeply personal and a little perverse, and that's one of the things that makes his music art and not just a digital token.
