## Summary

Nick Cave has criticised AI song generators, saying they could make human creative work seem unnecessary and weaken the connection between artists and their audiences. His comments came in response to fans asking about AI and whether art can be separated from its creator.

Cave singled out Suno, which he said can produce a song in 15 seconds without human experience behind it. He described this as an affront to songwriters, while acknowledging that an AI-made film inspired by his song “Tupelo” had previously softened his view of AI as an artistic tool. The film marked the song’s 40th anniversary.
