Diplo has urged musicians and producers to incorporate generative AI into their creative process, telling creatives in a viral post on X that they “need to adapt or just give up and become an Uber driver”.
The controversial comments were shared alongside a clip of Diplo’s recent interview with podcaster Daniel Wall, in which the pair discuss the artist’s views on generative AI and how the tools have become central to his own music-making.
Speaking on Wall’s Behind The Wall podcast, Diplo says he believes critics of AI are fighting a losing battle, and that musicians should engage with the technology or risk being left behind as it becomes more widely adopted.
