Tyler believes AI can’t replace his talent
Tyler, The Creator believes as much as AI is rapidly developing, it’ll never be able to match his creativity. The rapper shared his stand on the technology during an appearance on De La Soul’s Art of Intelligence show on Apple Music 1 last week.
“I don’t have much feelings, but I think AI needs to do the mundane shit like figure out the robot to fix these fucking potholes or get this damn smog out, the one super human thing,” he explained.
“Adding snares and drawing. No, that’s the superpower that we have that keeps things unique and moving forward. Why have a computer do that special power that us as humans have? Make this n-gga clean up this ground or … getting the cancer cells out of us.
“What? Making a beat? Like no, stop. It might have its perks. And also, I’m always ahead of even myself, so the AI will never catch up to me creatively, it’ll only have a reference point of what I’ve already did, not where I’m going because it’s not me.”
He added, “So I’m not scared of that. I think folks who make kind of generic music that just gets the thumbs up from everyone who’s in Starbucks that people passively listen to, even if it’s the biggest thing in the world, I think they have more fear for AI probably than me who’s trying to figure out how to make this cup sound good.”
