ジャック・アントノフは、人工知能（AI）を使って楽曲を制作するミュージシャンたちを公に批判した。ブリーチャーズのフロントマンである彼は、5月13日に自身のインスタグラムに投稿したメッセージの中で、AIを用いた制作プロセスを「創作活動に対する裏切り」と表現した。
アントノフは、この技術を受け入れる人々を「神を捨てた娼婦」と呼び、「そのまま崖から飛び降りろ」と激しい言葉で非難した。彼は従来の音楽制作を、作詞・作曲、レコーディング、そしてバンドでのライブ演奏を伴う「古代からの儀式」と定義した。彼にとって、そのプロセスを最適化したり効率化しようとする試みは、音楽の本質を完全に見失っているという。また、彼が知る新しいアーティストたちは、あくまで「内側から湧き出る」作品を作ることに集中していると付け加えた。
