Earlier this week, Grimes made headlines when she appeared on a podcast and prophesied the impending end of human art due to the development of artificial intelligence that can create music. She received backlash from, among others, Zola Jesus, who described Grimes as “the voice of silicon fascist privilege.” Later, Holly Herndon penned an essay on AI in music, which refuted Grimes’ claims that AI could ever truly replace human performance.
