In related news, Damon Albarn recently revealed that he is scoring Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming OpenAI movie, which centers around the founders of ChatGPT. The film is titled Artificial, and reportedly focuses on the life of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Speaking to The Needle Drop, Albarn shared his thoughts on AI: “I’ve been quite involved with AI because I’ve been making a score for a movie called Artificial at the moment, which is all about the founders of ChatGPT. So I’ve had a lot of time to think about it. Music and art should not be easy.”
He continued, “Once it becomes easy, it’s meaningless. In a way, it’s the things you don’t see or hear that make it art. It’s a weird intuition that the listener has that picks up on the journey that the artist has been through to make that particular thing with the tone of the voice, etc. You can’t replace that.”
Furthermore, Damon Albarn has also shared details on why the Gorillaz Netflix film was scrapped, revealing that it ultimately inspired ‘Cracker Island’.
