In a recent interview with Poland's Noise Magazine, Swedish producer Peter Tägtgren weighed in on the debate about using AI music generators.

When asked if he has personally used an AI tool during his songwriting process, Tägtgren responded, “Nope.

I know sometimes people go on our social media and post AI stuff, and I see people saying 'Well, no.' … They hate it.

But, no, I never even thought about doing that.

I don't need to — I have ideas.

And that's the whole point of writing — to get your ideas out,” Tägtgren explained.

He compared AI-generated music to tools for non-musicians who want to write songs for specific occasions, like birthdays.

When asked about album covers generated by AI, Tägtren said “Whatever works.

It's up to every person, I think, to decide what they wanna do.” Tägtgren has a rich history in music as the leader and co-creator of HYPOCRISY, co-creator of LINDEMANN, and owner of Abyss Studio where he produces many world-renowned metal bands.
