Cradle Of Filth‘s frontman Dani Filth has come out against AI, calling it “shit” and “a bit of a problem”.The comments came in an interview with Spanish publication Metal Journal, when the singer was asked what he thinks of the emerging technology: “It’s dangerous,” he said. “I mean, it’s gonna have benefits, yeah.

Everything has benefits. There will be disabled people that will benefit from the use of AI. There’ll be historians and things that just do work for you that make it easy.“But that’s not the point,” he added. “The point is, it’s soulless.” He went on to compare the rise in AI to streaming, saying having unlimited, easy access to music makes people “lazy”.“There’s no soul searching, there’s no going to a record store and finding an album… There was something very spiritual about spending the time drifting from shop to shop looking [for an album you really wanted].

Now you just press a button,” he said. “And I think you lose the capacity to enjoy things as much… I do think that discovering bands and growing with bands and having them shape your parts of your life is important too.“So no, I think AI is shit.
