Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys has offered up an optimistic perspective on how AI could be utilized by musicians and producers in an interview with British publication Radio Times.
Tennant suggests that AI might become a useful tool for musicians, helping them to overcome writer's block or finish songs while in periods of creative stasis. He recalls being stunned by the technology after the group's manager's daughter demonstrated the results that an AI chatbot produced when asked to write a song in the style of Pet Shop Boys.
