Grimes Claims AI Psychosis, Quits Music for Machine Consciousness
20 Apr
Summary
- Singer Grimes declared she has quit music production.
- She is developing a documentary on machine consciousness.
- Grimes admitted to using AI for lyrics on one song.
Grimes, formerly known for her distinct electronic music, announced a significant shift in her creative pursuits. She stated that she "totally quit music a couple years ago," but a request to write a rap for a K-pop artist reignited her passion. This led to the development of her nearly completed album, "Psy Opera," featuring tracks like "The Light Ages" and "Eve Is Online."
Her current focus includes a documentary project titled "First Contact," exploring the concept of machine consciousness. While some initial AI-generated dancer elements were removed from a music video for "Psy Opera," Grimes revealed that the song "DeepSeek" features lyrics generated by the Chinese AI model of the same name. She described this collaboration as "awesome" and humorously diagnosed herself with "AI psychosis."
Reflecting on her early career, Grimes recalled performing in parking lots outside major concerts, even playfully critiquing her artist name. She described "Grimes" as sounding like a villain, but now embraces the moniker with a sense of cool acceptance.
