The best part of Nick Caveβs critique of ChatGPT is, IMHO, the following:
βSongs arise out of suffering, by which I mean they are predicated upon the complex, internal human struggle of creation and, well, as far as I know, algorithms donβt feel.β
A close second:
βWriting a good song is not mimicry, or replication, or pastiche, it is the opposite. It is an act of self-murder that destroys all one has strived to produce in the past.β
