Cash Cobain recently addressed the growing trend of using artificial intelligence to produce entire songs — and he made his stance crystal clear. During the Billboard 2025 No. 1s Livestream, Cash Cobain condemned the use of AI-generated full songs, stating bluntly that “that’s not fair for real.”
He argued that relying on AI for full song creation undermines the integrity of music and diminishes the effort of real artists. His remarks come amid an industry-wide conversation about AI’s role in music creation — a debate increasingly framed around ethics, authenticity, and creative value.
In the same livestream, Cash Cobain reaffirmed his commitment to human-driven music, aligning his comments with growing concerns from other musicians and industry voices about what’s been dubbed “AI-slop”— music that’s generated entirely by algorithms, often lacking the soul and nuance of human artistry.
As streaming platforms and generative-AI tools continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in music production, Cash Cobain’s remarks represent a clear voice advocating for preserving the role of human creators in shaping what music truly is.
