I believe we’re at some extent now the place you do not know what’s actual and what’s not, what’s human and what’s A.I.? You do not know; we can’t know. Music is modified endlessly. After which folks name you previous for considering that approach. ‘Oh, man, it’s good to get with the occasions. You are old-fashioned. You are an previous fart. Come on, man.’ It’s, like, actually? Okay. If different folks do not care about that, wow.”

And it is gonna be fascinating to see the place we’re at in 10 years with music and the humanities and movie and all that stuff, man. It’s mind-boggling. I do not suppose it is a good factor.”
Candy added: “I’ve heard stuff. I believed, ‘Oh, wow, that is cool. What band is that this?’ They usually’re, like, ‘It’s A.I.’ Okay. It’s good — it is actually good. You are sitting there going, ‘Yeah.’ However gee, I do not know why that does not scare extra folks than it does.”
