Hannah Diamond Reflects on Early Career Assumptions as AI Sparks New Wave of Anxiety Around Human Creativity

Hannah Diamond's early music with PC Music led some to wrongly assume she was an AI creation or frontwoman.

Diamond felt her identity and artistry were erased by people unwilling to believe creativity could come from a woman.

A decade later, AI fuels similar fears of replacing human creativity, despite some artists using it as a tool.

Artists argue in an open letter that AI can help democratize art by lowering barriers, citing music's history with production software.

Diamond and PC Music pioneered a maximalist pop sound out of limitations like home recording, paralleling AI's potential as a creative tool.
