Wu-Tang Clan's RZA Makes the Case for AI in Film and Music: 'An Amazing Thing for Us'

Wu-Tang Clan's RZA is making the case for AI in film and music. The use of AI remains one of the hottest topics in music. Countless artists have maintained the importance of raw, human expression. Critics argue that using generative artificial intelligence is creatively bankrupt, forgoing all the work and smoothing all the edges that make music great and interesting. Not to mention, it takes up an alarming amount of processing power.

RZA, however, sees AI as an 'amazing thing for us.' He believes that AI can help artists create new sounds and styles, and that it can also be used to automate tedious tasks, freeing up time for more creative pursuits.

The use of AI in music is not without its challenges, though. One of the main concerns is that AI-generated music can sound too perfect, lacking the imperfections and humanity that make human-created music so compelling. However, RZA believes that AI can be used to create music that is both unique and human-sounding.

RZA's comments on AI in music come as the technology continues to evolve and become more accessible to artists. While some may see AI as a threat to traditional music-making, RZA sees it as an opportunity to create new and exciting sounds.
