The debate surrounding the use of AI is on-going and divides opinion. Some would
argue that if its use in worship music and production brings people closer to God
then that is good. Another argument is that A1 as a technical tool should be
acceptable in a similar way to that of auto tuning.
Those arguing against the use of AI would highlight the loss of jobs for actors,
musicians technicians etc. That it encourages laziness, poor quality material ( known
as AI slop) and is impersonal. There is also a concern that it is often not stated that
material has been AI generated or enhanced, in which case people may believe it
has been created by humans when it has not.
For Mustard Seed Songs, AI generated and enhanced material is felt to be of little
value as it is produced by robots with no hearts or souls and, therefore no
experience of a living and loving God.
Worship has to come from the heart for it be worthy of our great God. Mustard Seed
Songs are, therefore, totally committed to producing material that is free from AI,
choosing instead to celebrate human creativity.
