Overview
- Mick Jagger told Sunday Times Culture on Sunday that he fed album-title ideas into an AI when naming 2023's Hackney Diamonds and found the machine's suggestions “rubbish,” saying the exercise ultimately boosted his confidence in his own titles.
- Jagger described using AI for titles only and called AI-assisted songwriting “a whole other conversation,” indicating caution about letting generative tools write core material for the band.
- Keith Richards praised Jagger's harmonica work as a key form of expression, arguing the instrument can convey more than vocals, and the band says live playing remains central to their sound.
- Ronnie Wood and Richards recalled their 2007 set with Amy Winehouse and reflected on her death, and the coverage reports the Stones' forthcoming album, Foreign Tongues, includes a cover of Winehouse’s 'You Know I'm No Good.'
- The remarks tie into a larger debate over AI in creative work by showing a major band testing but rejecting AI for core songwriting while leaning on human craft and musical legacy for new material.
