Skrillex expressed his views on the advancement of technology in the music industry.
In a new interview with German magazine 032c, the American DJ claimed that AI songs don’t have the same impact as songs written by humans.
“The other day, when I was thinking about Al, something really struck me,” Skrillex said. “I think the value of art can almost be measured by its ability to make someone feel noticed, at least that’s true for me as a listener.”
The DJ, whose real name is Sonny Moore, added: “When I go back to Justice or Daft Punk or Metallica, it really hits home because there’s something familiar that never existed before. It makes you think, ‘These guys get me. They’re on my wavelength. They’re talking to me.'”
“Maybe some of Al’s songs have the potential to go viral, but if there’s no human on the other end, you don’t feel seen,” he added.
Elsewhere in the interview, Skrillex emphasized the importance of taking creative risks and being open to criticism that can come with pushing boundaries.
“[Resistance] “With ‘From First to Last,’ that’s what I prepared myself for. We weren’t hardcore enough for the tough hardcore crowd, but we were more aggressive than Fall Out Boy,” he said.
“I wore pink eyeshadow and people called me all sorts of things. I don’t know if it was intentional or if I just didn’t realize it, but I always just went along with it. I opened up my Legos and just started building,” Skrillex added.
