Preview: Mac DeMarco Talks Music, AI, and More

For those curious about the man behind the music, Mac recently opened up about pivotal influences in his life and shared his thoughts on the changing music landscape, especially with the rise of AI.

"We’re in a funny zone right now where AI is coming in and getting good at things, fast. Things start feeling paint-by-numbers sometimes. When you have AI bands coming around, and people listening to music without even realizing it’s AI-generated, we’re in a weird place." — Mac DeMarco

He also voiced skepticism about AI’s role in songwriting, emphasizing the importance of intention and authenticity in music creation. "If people want to climb the mountain, I guess you use the tools you can to get up there. I don’t know what you’re gonna find when you get up there, but hopefully you’re happy," he reflected.
