Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are both apprehensive about using artificial intelligence to make music. In a recent interview with Billboard, Rolling Stones\u2018 Glimmer Twins said they believed people should use AI only if they put their own thought into it, and anything else is lazy.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously I don\u2019t want to be imitated by AI, vocally and instrumentally, and the band doesn\u2019t,\u201d Jagger said. \u201cI don\u2019t want people just putting stuff out there that can sound exactly like the Rolling Stones \u2014 I think that\u2019s obviously wrong. If someone wants to make music by AI, go ahead. But it has to be original \u2014 you have to have your own input and your own thoughts. There are people who use AI to just make a song from scratch, in the style of the Rolling Stones. If you were any kind of creative person, you wouldn\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d rather hear something original,\u201d Richards said. \u201cMusic could do a lot better than just trying to copy itself. After all, it\u2019s pretty simple stuff \u2014 this is not Beethoven or Bach, and I\u2019ve no doubt AI can do that, but so what? We want new input. We don\u2019t want more and more copying and synthesizing. \u2026 Surely there\u2019s enough originality without having to copy nursery rhymes.\u201d<\/p>\n

That said, they got a kick out of using deepfake technology, which is AI-adjacent, for their music video for \u201cIn the Stars,\u201d a track off their recent Foreign Tongues album. In the clip, actors play the Stones\u2019 instruments but their faces look like those of the Stones\u2019 half a century ago. \u201cThe musicians are real musicians that look a bit like the Rolling Stones in 1968,\u201d Jagger told Billboard. \u201cThe only thing was the faces. So they worked on mine first, and it kind of looked like me, but not really \u2014 like one of my children when they were 23 or something. And then I saw Ronnie, and I said to the people working on it, \u2018It looks more like Jeff Beck.\u2019 So they had to do a bit extra work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018Very nice. I wish I looked…<\/p>\n
