Grimes Comments on AI and Musicians Jobs
I don’t know, I definitely like when AI gets good enough, it’s a lot easier than relying on other people. Especially if I can be like, “Fix the EQ on this,” or, you know, yeah. If I can like prompt very specific things, which I still think is overall better because I think people should just retain the art of creating things, retain the art of knowing things, so the more granular it gets, I think actually the less sort of evil it is as like an attack on the human psyche or the human ability to learn.
Yeah. Overall, I think there’s quite a bit of abdication of responsibility around, like, what are we going to do as people‘s jobs start being taken fairly aggressively by AI. Luckily, there’s a massive population drop coming, so… Maybe everything is just fate and it’s gonna work out okay. I feel like we might get, like…very, very, very good AI across every pillar of art before there aren’t any more people to make art.
Jewish mysticism, known as Kabbalah, is the esoteric dimension of Jewish tradition that seeks to understand the nature of the divine and the universe through hidden spiritual truths.
The Zohar (Hebrew for “Splendor” or “Radiance”) is the foundational and most significant text of this mystical tradition, serving as its primary source of theological and cosmological doctrine.
