Thom Yorke has shared his thoughts on AI's impact on the creative industries in a recent interview with Electronic Sound surrounding the release of Tall Tales, a collaborative project with electronic artist Mark Pritchard.
Issuing a pointed critique of generative AI, the Radiohead frontman says that he believes we are entering a "weird kind of wanky, tech-bro nightmare future" in which musicians, writers, artists and creatives of all kinds are being stolen from to enable AI to create "pallid facsimiles" of their original work. "It seems this is what the tech industry does best," he adds. "A devaluing of the rest of humanity other than themselves, hidden behind tech."
