Elton John and Paul McCartney in Harmony—on the Dangers of AI

When two of music’s greatest legends sing the same tune—it’s worth listening.
In a rare show of alignment, Sir Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney have spoken out about the growing risks of AI in music—from deepfake vocals to the posthumous use of artists’ voices without consent.

Their concern?
That AI could strip music of its soul, blur the boundaries between truth and illusion—and turn art into something manufactured, rather than made.

As someone who’s both curious and cautious about AI, I find this moment striking.
Not because it pits tech against tradition—but because it asks something deeper:

Is this our Napster moment?
The point where everything changes—but no one yet knows what the cost will be.

🎧 If we can clone a voice, who owns authenticity?
🎼 If machines write symphonies, what becomes of lived experience in art?

This isn’t just about music.
It’s about creation. Ownership. Expression. Humanity.

Curious to hear your thoughts:
Are we on the edge of more creativity—or a crisis of originality?
