Renowned singer and composer Mohit Chauhan has recently shared his insightful perspective on the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) in the music industry. In a candid interview, he emphasized that the core of true artistry lies in human emotion and creative depth, elements he believes AI may struggle to replicate authentically.
Human Feel vs. Algorithmic Creation
Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Chauhan addressed the contemporary trend of using AI to generate music. He acknowledged the role of technology but drew a clear distinction. "Look, take Rahman sir, for example," Chauhan said, referring to the legendary composer A.R. Rahman. "Rahman sir uses technology, but the human feel he brings and the way he creates melodies always carries a sense of freshness."
He elaborated that despite Rahman's decades-long career, each of his compositions possesses a unique quality that resonates deeply with the listener's soul. This, according to Chauhan, is the hallmark of genuine artistry that transcends mere technical production.
The Pitfall of Hasty, Soulless Music
Chauhan also commented on the current landscape where music is sometimes created rapidly for commercial gain. He expressed concern that this approach often results in work that lacks longevity and emotional core. "A song lasts for an entire generation, you know. Very few people can create something like that," he stated.
He pointed out that when music is made hastily purely for business, it frequently loses its soul. However, he remains hopeful, noting that many artists continue to produce meaningful work, ensuring that good music will persist for audiences to enjoy.
Chauhan's Recent Work and Industry Outlook
On the professional front, Mohit Chauhan continues to contribute his iconic voice to the industry. He recently sang the track 'Chikri Chikri' for the film 'Peddi', starring Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor. The song was met with significant appreciation from fans upon its release, proving the enduring appeal of heartfelt vocal performance.
His comments serve as a thoughtful reflection on the balance between technological advancement and artistic integrity. While AI presents new tools, Chauhan's stance underscores a widely held belief in the creative community: that the essence of music is an inherently human expression, fueled by experience and emotion.
