Daft Punk's Fear of AI Contributed to Split, Says Member
Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter revealed that fears about artificial intelligence contributed to the band's breakup. The band's robot personas were initially meant to blur the line between reality and fiction, but as technology advanced, they became concerned about the relationship between humans and machines. Bangalter's concerns about AI go beyond music creation and he sees the rise of AI as a threat to humanity. The band intentionally timed their breakup in 2021 to avoid being seen as robots in the world of 2023.
