Grimes Believes Artificial Intelligence Will Make Live Music "Obsolete"

Prior to becoming a full-time musician, Grimes learned how to use the production software Logic for her neuroscience studies at Montreal's McGill University. The Vancouver native brought her unique perspective to Sean Carroll's Mindscape podcast, where she spoke about artificial intelligence's growing capacity to create music. "I feel like we're in the end of art, human art." said Grimes, who is now going by the name c in reference to the speed of light. "Once there's actual AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), it's gonna be so much better at making art than us… Once AI can totally master science and art, which could happen in the next 10 years, probably more like 20 or 30 years." She also predicted that AI will reach a point when it will be building and creating art for itself.
